5c050fb963 docs: update the development process document
Here's a set of changes updating Documentation/development-process.  I have
update kernel releases and relevant statistics, added information for a
couple of tools, zapped some trailing white space, and generally tried to
make it more closely match the current state of affairs.

[Typo fixes from Joe Perches and Nicolas Kaiser incorporated]

5d98932ab0 docs: Encourage better changelogs in the development process document
Add a couple of paragraphs to the "patch formatting" section on how patches
should be described.  This text is shamelessly cribbed from suggestions
posted by Rusty Russell.
