Updates the "Creating a Patch File" tutorial to recommend using descriptive patch names that include the bug number and a short description (e.g., 16629-infinite-recursion.diff) instead of generic names like patch.diff.

This follows R Core best practices and helps reviewers quickly identify and track patches.

Closes #220.

Thanks, I made a couple of minor edits to remove the quote formatting and put the file extension in code mark-up as we do for filename in general.
