Emil Velikov 9e4248b206 docs/submittingpatches.html: remove version tag for nominations
The version tag used to nominate has bitten even experienced mesa
developers. Not to mention that it deviates from the one used in the
kernel leading to further confusion.

Simplify things and omit it all together.

Eric Engestrom 30cf9ffb59 docs: https all the links \o/
Most of them already redirected to https anyway, so we might as well
avoid the redirection and the security implications by linking directly
to the right protocol.

Emil Velikov 07384468af docs/submittingpatches: flesh out "how to nominate" methods
Currently they are buried within the text, making it hard to find.
Move them to the top and be clear what is _not_ a good idea.

v2: Minor commit polish, use only "resending" as suggested by Matt.
