contributor-guide/submit-changes.rst: suggest to remove the git signature

By default when sending patches Git adds the git version at the bottom
of the patch, which is not necessary in most cases. Suggest to remove it
when configuring Git when sending patches.

By default, Git adds a signature line at the end of patches containing the Git
version. We suggest to remove it as it doesn't add useful information.
Remove it with the following command::
git config --global format.signature ""
