[Buildroot] [git commit branch/2022.05.x] docs/manual: patch subjects shall not be numbered

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ba675342e1581a9f76a05d1f6e0e0b86a108d639
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2022.05.x

The script "utils/check-package" checks that patch email prefix are
not be numbered. See:
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/utils/checkpackagelib/lib_patch.py?h=2022.08-rc1#n42

The error message recommends to generate patches to be included in
Buildroot with the command 'git format-patch -N'.

The patch policy section in the Buildroot manual does mention that.

This commit adds a note about that requirement.
