contributor-guide: deprecate "Accepted" patch status

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.
