Make some minor fixes to grammar and layout, and add a short new section
describing how to setup and use the patchtest selftests properly.

The contributing info still lists the main Yocto list, but patchtest is
in oe-core, so simplify the instructions and put the right mailing list
in.

Since patchtest is in oe-core, the Python os module's methods can be
used to retrieve the repository path and tests directory by default.
This reduces the number of mandatory arguments for invocation of
patchtest unless the user wants to use a custom test suite or test
patches against a different repo. The REPO and TESTDIR arguments are
likewise adjusted so that they are optional. Also, make it more obvious
what the --startdir flag is meant for on the command line by renaming it
to --testdir, and update the scripts/patchtest.README file to be
consistent with the new usage.

Add the following from the patchtest repo:
- patchtest: core patch testing tool
- patchtest-get-branch: determine the target branch of a patch
- patchtest-get-series: pull patch series from Patchwork
- patchtest-send-results: send test results to selected mailing list
- patchtest-setup-sharedir: create sharedir for use with patchtest guest
mode
- patchtest.README: instructions for using patchtest based on the README
in the original repository
Note that the patchtest script was modified slightly from the repo
version to retain compatibility with the oe-core changes.
patchtest-send-results and patchtest-setup-sharedir are also primarily
intended for automated testing in guest mode, but are added for
consistency.
