[PATCH v4] docs/ja_JP: translate submitting-patches.rst (sign-off)

[Akiyoshi Kurita]

Translate the "Include PATCH in the subject" and "Sign your work -
the Developer's Certificate of Origin" sections into Japanese.

Keep the DCO text in English as the original certificate text, and add
a Japanese note that the sign-off refers to the English DCO text.

Use a reStructuredText note directive to make it clear that the note is
specific to the Japanese translation.

Signed-off-by: Akiyoshi Kurita <weibu@redadmin.org>

---
Changes in v4:

  - Use a reStructuredText note directive to clarify that the explanation
    is specific to the Japanese translation.

Changes in v3:

  - Keep the DCO 1.1 text in English instead of translating it.
  - Add a Japanese note explaining that Signed-off-by refers to the
    original English DCO text, not to a translated version.
  - Address Akira Yokosawa's concern about possible confusion around
    translating the DCO text.

Changes in v2:

  - Added the Japanese translation of the "Include PATCH in the subject"
    section.
  - Updated the DCO translation to match the current English text and
    structure.
  - Kept the DCO statement in a literal block following commit
    999161066dc5.

Extra blank line under your SoB ...
Please remove.

This patch doesn't apply cleanly on docs-next.  Please rebase.

Thanks, Akira

I remember that 'git am' would remove the blank lines between SoB and
'---' automaticly. But that said, it is better to do it well in advance.

Thanks,
