This hopefully improves instructions on how to write a proper commit for submitting to the Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded various projects. This was prompted by some new contributor following the instructions and coming up with something different than what we had in mind. Then I got carried away and fixed/improved a few other things in this document. This is opinionated from someone who's used to deal with mail-based contribution so please feel free to nitpick/do bikeshedding/suggest something else even more than usual.
