[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: document mandatory signoffs in governance.html
Amend the paragraphs about no CLAs and implicit license agreements to mention mandatory Signed-off-by tags.

Yeah, I wanted to move that info out of the hacking page entirely and introduce a new page just for this basic contributiuon info, but what you've done here is good enough in the meantime.
