[PATCH] Documentation/SubmittingPatches: clarify GMail section and SMTP

[Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>]

We keep getting mangled submissions from GMail's web interface. Try to
be more proactive in SubmittingPatches by

- pointing to MUA specific instructions early on,
- structuring the GMail section more clearly,
- putting send-email/SMTP before imap-send/IMAP.
