docs: submitting-patches: clarify difference between Acked-by and Reviewed-by
Newcomers to the kernel need to learn the different tags that are used in commit messages and when to apply them. Acked-by is sometimes misunderstood, since the documentation did not really clarify (up to the previous commit) when it should be used, especially compared to Reviewed-by. The previous commit already clarified who the usual providers of Acked-by tags are, with examples. Thus provide a clarification paragraph for the comparison with Reviewed-by, and give a couple examples reusing the cases given above, in the previous commit.
