CONTRIBUTING.md: simplify rebasing instructions
...
Makes the instructions easier to remember (and type) using the
`git rebase --onto A...B` syntax to find the merge base between A and B
(which has been in git for at least 10 years).
We also assume that the merge base between staging and master is also
the merge base between staging and the current branch (since it is based
on master), and giving master as the <upstream> branch makes git
consider the commits in the current branch that are not in master, so
there's no need to compute the merge base between master and the current
branch.
In the same spirit of discouraging copy-and-paste, use a placeholder
name for the current branch instead of `$(git branch --show-current)`.

CONTRIBUTING.md: Clarify clarification on periods
...
Commit 9428c28f7a
added a note in
`CONTRIBUTING.md` saying that, "For consistency, there should not be a
period at the end of the commit message."
I believe it would be more correct (with respect to consistency) to
say that there should not be a full stop/period at the end of the
commit message's *summary line* (the first line of the commit message)
(indeed, the example commit message just above this note clearly does
use full stops outside of its summary line), and this patch changes
`CONTRIBUTING.md` accordingly.

CONTRIBUTING.md: suggest "nixos/<module>" prefix for NixOS changes
...
Suggest prefixing commit messages that touches NixOS code with
"nixos/<module>" instead of the current "<name> service" prefix.
"<name> service" is limiting in that NixOS code is more than the
services. It is also easier to spot NixOS changes with explicit
"nixos/..." prefix.
