Documentation/contributing: Update sign-off procedure 

The Linux kernel recently updated the wording of their sign-off
procedure, changing the ambiguous "real name" requirement to "a known
identity" and dropping "no pseudonyms". Anonymous contributions remain
uncommittable [1]. As discussed in the April 19, 2023 leadership
meeting, update our policy to go along with Linux and flashrom (who also
updated their policy).

[1] Linux kernel commit d4563201f3
(Documentation: simplify and clarify DCO contribution example language)

@ -141,9 +141,11 @@ Using '-s' with 'git commit' will automatically add a Signed-off-by line
to your commit message. Patches without a Signed-off-by should not be
pushed to gerrit, and will be rejected by coreboot's CI system.
You must use your real name in the Signed-off-by line. Patches without
an associated real name cannot be committed! Refer to [this LKML thread]
and the [SCO-Linux disputes] for the rationale behind the DCO.
You must use a known identity in the Signed-off-by line. Anonymous
contributions cannot be committed! This can be anything sufficient to
identify and contact the source of a contribution, such as your name or
an established alias/nickname. Refer to [this LKML thread] and the
[SCO-Linux disputes] for the rationale behind the DCO.
