[PATCH] ReviewingGuidelines: encourage positive reviews more

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

patches by their coworkers.  When written well, a positive review
does not have to be a hollow "looks good" that rubber stamps an
otherwise useless approval on a topic that is not interesting to
anybody.

Let's add a few paragraphs to encourage positive reviews, which is a
bit harder to give than a review to point out things to improve.
