Documentation: describe subject more precisely
The discussion of email subject throughout the documentation is
misleading; it indicates that the first line will always become
the subject. In fact, the subject is generally all lines up until
the first full blank line.
This patch refines that, and makes more use of the concept of a
commit title, with the title being all text up to the first blank line.
