Documentation/contributing: Update sign-off procedure

Browse Source 
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).
