SubmittingPatches: mention the git contacts command

Instead of just mentioning 'git blame' and 'git shortlog', which make it
quite hard for new contributors to pick out the appropriate list of
people to cc on their patch series, mention the 'git contacts' utility,
which makes it much easier to get a reasonable list of contacts for a
change.

This should help new contributors pick out a reasonable cc list by
simply using a single command.

`git blame $path` and `git shortlog --no-merges $path` would help to
people who are involved in the area you are touching (the `git
contacts` command in `contrib/contacts/` can help to
identify them), to solicit comments and reviews.
