docs: process/5.Posting.rst: clarify use of Reported-by: tag

Browse Source 
Bring the description on when to use the Reported-by: tag found in
Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst more in line with the description in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst: before this change the two
were contradicting each other, as the latter is way more permissive and
only states '[...] if the bug was reported in private, then ask for
permission first before using the Reported-by tag.'
