doc: add patch dependency syntax to contributing guide

To help managing patch dependencies, both for maintainers or automation
tasks, document a syntax for commit logs or cover letters to express
their dependencies.

Using the syntax proposed in Bugzilla ID 210:
[https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210]

Depends-on: series-NNNNN ("Title of the series")
OR
Depends-on: patch-NNNNN ("Title of the patch")
