docs: README: specify how to contribute instead of pointing at another file

This repository is partially included in another repository: poky.

However its README isn't making it, so documentation/README pointing at
the README at the root of the git repository would lead the contributor
nowhere.

Instead, let's include the appropriate information directly in
documentation/README which does make it to the poky git repo.

Submitting documentation changes
================================
Please see the top level README file in this repository for details of where
to send patches.
Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/
for full details on how to submit changes.
As a quick guide, patches should be sent to docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
The git command to do that would be:
git send-email -M -1 --to docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
The 'To' header can be set as default for this repository:
git config sendemail.to docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
Now you can just do 'git send-email origin/master..' to send all local patches.
Read the other sections in this document and documentation/standards.md for
rules to follow when contributing to the documentation.
