3b44395559 Docs: tell maintainers to put [GIT PULL] in their subject lines
It seems that Linus looks for [GIT PULL] in subject lines to ensure that
pull requests don't get buried in the noise during merge windows.  Update
the docs to reflect that.

d19b3e3237 Documentation/process: fix the canonical patch format description
There shouldn't be a blank line at the beginning, if there is no
optional in-body "From" line.  There must be a blank line between
the body of the explanation and the beginning of the S-o-b lines.

89edeedd61 docs: Tweak submitting-patches.rst formatting
The main goal here was to get the subsections to show in the TOC as they do
for all the other documents.  Also call out the DCO in the section title
since it's important.

186128f753 docs-rst: add documents to development-process
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.
