Ben Boeckel 939dc9a58c Help: prefer commit hashes in commit references
The logic is that the describe output is readily available using `git
tag --contains` locally. In addition, for a hypothetical commit which
landed in both v3.9.4 and v3.10.1, there is no "better" tag to refer to.
since v3.10.0's relation to such a commit is unclear either way.

Also mention that a `Fixes` trailer is preferred if the mention is just
to indicate a commit which introduced an error rather than writing a
complete sentence about it.

* The `CMake Review Process`_ manages integration of changes.
* The `CMake Testing Process`_ drives integration testing.
