Jerome Forissier 9388915dc6 HACKING: add note about refs/for/master ...

The fact that one needs to always push contributions to a single
remote reference (refs/for/master) might seem odd to people unfamiliar
with Gerrit. GitHub, for instance, hosts personal repositories where
developers typically create topic branches for each contribution and
use a proprietary mecanism to request a review (the "pull request").
More generally, one normally does not expect to be able to push
non-fast-forwarding stuff to a remote branch.

This commit adds a clarifying note to the patch guidelines.
