README: Clarify where to send patches
There is still a great deal of confusion over where patches for the various components of the poky repository should be sent. Attempt to mitigate this by including a blurb in the poky README similar to what other layers and repositories do. V2: Call out the special care required when dealing with the scripts directory per Saul Wold's recommendation. V3: Recommend applying patches to oe-core prior to sending patches to the oe-core mailing list.

30Where to Send Patches
31=====================
32
33As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
34should be sent to their respective upstreams.
35
36bitbake:
37 bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
38
39meta-yocto:
40 poky@yoctoproject.org
41
42Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If
43in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
44Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
45repository.
46 openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
47
48Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
49 of oe-core and poky-specific files.
