docs: Fix botched rST conversion of 'submitting-a-patch.rst'
I completely botched up the merged[0] rST conversion of this document by
accidentally dropping entire hunks (!) of text. :-( I made it very hard
for reviewers to spot it, as the omitted text was buried deep in the
document. To fix my hatchet job, I reconverted the "SubmitAPatch"
wiki[1] page from scratch and replaced the existing rST with it, while
making sure I incorporated previous feedback.
In summary, in this reconverted edition:
- I did a careful (to the extent my eyes allowed) para-by-para
comparison of the wiki and the rST to make sure I didn't omit
anything accidentally.
- I made sure to work in the cosmetic feedback[2] that Thomas Huth
pointed out in the merged (and botched) edition:
- fix the hyperlinks in "Split up long patches"
- replace ".". with "does not end with a dot" (in "Write a meaningful
commit message" section)
- replace "---" with ``---`` so that it doesn't render as an em-dash
(there were two other occurrences; I fixed those too)
- Use "QEMU" spelling consistently in prose usage
- Add a consistent "refer to git-config" link where appropriate
Thanks to Thomas Huth and Alex Bennée for noticing it on IRC. And sorry
for my sloppiness.
