Add more explicit contributing explanation

Most developers on GitHub are not used to projects that use the Signed-off-by convention.
They do, however, tend to read the READMEs to see which conventions the author prefers
to follow.  If you are explicit about what you prefer in the README with easy to follow
instructions, it is more likely people will follow those conventions.

Contributing:
Please either send me signed-off patches or a pull request with
signed-off commits. If you don't sign off on them, I will not accept
them. This means adding a line that says "Signed-off-by: Name <email>"
at the end of each commit, indicating that you wrote the code and have
the right to pass it on as an open source patch.
