SubmittingPatches: use gitk's "Copy commit summary" format
Update the suggestion in 175d38ca
("SubmittingPatches: document how
to reference previous commits", 2016-07-28) on the format to refer
to a commit to match what gitk has been giving since last year with
its "Copy commit summary" command; also mention this as one of the
ways to obtain a commit reference in this format.
