Cover letter [PATCH v3 0/1] docs: improve when and how to use Link: tags

Lo! The regression tracking bot I'm working on can automatically mark an entry as resolved, if the commit message of the fix uses a 'Link' tag to the report. Many developers already place them, but it afaics would improve matters to make this more explicit. Especially as I had trouble finding the explanation myself at first, as I simply grepped for 'Link:' and only found an explanation in configure-git.rst. But that only covers how maintainers should use it to make git automatically add links to the patch review in the archives.

v3:
- drop the first patch (merged)
- slightly improve the text again due to the questions raised during the review (that's also why I didn't pick up Konstantin's 'reviewed-by' on v2) and something Linus meanwhile said coincidentally

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]/
- slightly reword after suggestiones from Konstantin (thx!)
- make this a patch series with an preparatory patch that does s!lkml.kernel.org!lore.kernel.org! everywhere in the docs

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/7dff33afec555fed0bf033c910ca59f9f19f22f1.1633537634.git.linux@leemhuis.info/
