The QA method document in the cometbft repository currently refers to numbered ranges of steps in this README as setup and run sequences that the tester needs to perform at different stages. When the list of steps changes as it did in #35, updating these hardcoded references is tedious and error-prone (case in point, I failed to update quite a few places). The solution is to do to these human-consumed texts what programmers do to machine code and introduce subroutines! The step sequences are split under headers that can be "invoked" by name and anchored in the HTML rendering.

Instead of hardcoded step numbers from qa-infra which are prone to falling out of date (as is the case now), refer to section anchors with the step "routines" in the reorganized README. Requires cometbft/qa-infra#38
