Documentation/process: add Co-Developed-by: tag for patches with multiple authors
Sometimes a single patch is the result of multiple authors. As git only can have one "author" of a patch, it is still good to properly give credit to the other developers of a commit. To address this, document the "Co-Developed-by:" tag which can be used to show other authors of the patch. Note, these other authors must also provide a Signed-off-by: tag as it is their work that is being submitted here.
