What changes were proposed in this pull request?

The Committers page (committers.md) currently only documents how to merge pull requests for the main apache/spark repository (the merge_spark_pr.py script). It does not explain how a committer merges pull requests to the apache/spark-website repository itself.

This PR adds a "Merging website pull requests" subsection under "How to merge a pull request" that covers:

  • Website PRs are merged with this repo's merge_pr.py script (which squashes commits, like merge_spark_pr.py does for the main repo).
  • This repository uses asf-site as its default branch (there is no master branch).
  • How to set up the apache (PUSH_REMOTE_NAME) and apache-github (PR_REMOTE_NAME) remotes.
  • A reminder to ensure the PR includes the regenerated site/ HTML.

The generated site/committers.html was rebuilt with jekyll build and is included.

How was this patch tested?

Built the site locally with jekyll build and verified the rendered site/committers.html shows the new section correctly.

The Committers page only described merging PRs for the main apache/spark
repo. Add a "Merging website pull requests" subsection explaining that
spark-website PRs are merged with this repo's merge_pr.py script, that the
default branch is asf-site (there is no master branch), how to set up the
apache/apache-github remotes, and the reminder to include the regenerated
site/ HTML.

@HyukjinKwon @dongjoon-hyun @gaogaotiantian can you take a look if it makes sense? the first step for new committer was to add the name to the committers page, but i didnt find a good reference how to merge it. (as opposed to merging prs in the main spark repo)
