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.
