SubmittingPatches: mention doc-diff
We already advise people to make sure their documentation
formats correctly. Let's point them at the doc-diff script,
which can help with that.

since that otherwise can only be found in the original
commit message. Along with the existing -h/usage text,
that's hopefully enough for developers to make use of it.
