As discussed in #817, since there is no clear ongoing reason to justify the difference of treatment between the AB and TAG when affiliation changes cause two or more participants to share the same affiliation, this PR proposes to harmonize the rules for the two groups, by aligning on the more lenient one in terms of duration (the TAG's) while keeping details from the more specific one (the AB's) in terms of backstop.

Note: I have also switched the responsibility for running (if necessary) the verifiable random selection procedure from the Chair to the Team, as this is a purely administrative yet fiddly step, whose timing would now be tied to the election, which is already run by the Team. So that seemed simpler. We can of course switch back if there's a preference to that effect.
