docs: *-regressions.rst: unify quoting, add missing word

Browse Source 
Quoting of the '"no regressions" rule' expression differs between

at least used dominantly, albeit marginally.

One of the occurrences is obviously missing the 'rule' part -- add it.

similar configuration. The "no regressions" rule forbids this to take place; if
it happens by accident, developers that caused it are expected to quickly fix
the issue.
