documentation/poky-ref-manual/resources.xml: re-wrote Contributions

The information in the "Contributions" section has been migrated to
a "Submitting a Change" section in the YP Development Manual.
I re-wrote this section here to simply make a general statement
about how you can submit a change and then provided a reference
link to the appropriate section in the dev manual.

-        Contributions to the Yocto Project are very welcome. 
-        You should send patches to the Yocto Project mailing list along with a "signed-off-by:"
-        line in the same style as required by the Linux kernel. 
-        Adding this line signifies the developer has agreed to the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-        as follows:

-         indicated in the file; or
-
-     (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
-         of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
-         license and I have the right under that license to submit that
-         work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
-         by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
-         permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
-         in the file; or
-
-     (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
-         person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
-         it.

-     (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
-         are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
-         personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
-         maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
-         this project or the open source license(s) involved.

-        A Poky contributions tree (<filename>poky-contrib</filename>, 
-        <filename>git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib.git</filename>)
-        exists for contributors to stage contributions.
-        If people desire such access, please ask on the mailing list. 
-        Usually, the Yocto Project team will grant access to anyone with a proven track 
-        record of good patches.
