SubmittingPatches: address design critiques

Contributors sometimes fail to answer fundamental design or
viability comments from reviewers and submit subsequent rounds
without addressing them.  When design decisions are resolved on the
mailing list, the final justification should be recorded in the
commit messages.

Instruct authors to be particularly mindful of critiques regarding
high-level design or viability, to defend their choices on the list,
and to accompany new iterations with clearer explanations in the cover
letter, responses, and revised commit messages. Also instruct them to
explicitly document the resolution of these concerns in the commit
message body to keep the historical record complete.
