Documentation: include sign off for reverts
Currently, we do not have any documentation on commit reverts regarding the requirement of Signed-off-by tag for it. This may be misleading to the users. Evaluating MISSING_SIGN_OFF checkpatch warnings on v4.13..v5.8 showed that 4 out of 11 cases missing a sign-off are revert commits. Add documentation regarding the same to document the community consensus and let readers know.
