contributor-guide: deprecate "Accepted" patch status

2023-09-25T13:37:26+00:00

This is in accordance with the gatesgarth Release Notes: > In the ``Upstream-Status`` header convention for patches, > ``Accepted`` has | been replaced with ``Backport`` as these almost > always mean the same thing i.e. the patch is already upstream and > may need to be removed in a future recipe upgrade. If you are adding > these headers to your own patches then use Backport to indicate that > the patch has been sent upstream.
