Make git-contacts more prominent in our docs.

Notable changes in v5
=====================

 * Drop mention of "/usr/share/..." as an "installed" path for
   "git-contacts"; instead point users to the script as a relative path
   inside the Git codebase
 * Minor wording tweaks to commit messages

Notable changes in v4
=====================

 * Avoid using "should" for guidance around using "git-contacts"
 * Clarify where to find the "git-contacts" script (because it's not a
   default builtin command)

Notable changes in v3
=====================

 * Refer to GitGitGadget via a link to MyFirstContribution (instead of
   sending readers to GGG's homepage directly)
 * Soften the advice for using git-contacts

Notable changes in v2
=====================

 * Improve existing mention of git-contacts in SubmittingPatches (instead of
   adding a separate, entirely new paragraph)
 * Add example usage of integrating git-contacts with git-send-email with
   the latter's --cc-cmd flag.
 * Various smaller fixes to SubmittingPatches
