Add a note about using "Differential Revision:" in commit messages

I noticed this convention from the commit logs.  It seems like it
would be useful to document it, to encourage other committers to link
back to code reviews in their commits.

Committing a change
-------------------
When committing an LLVM change that has been reviewed using
Phabricator, the convention is for the commit message to end with the
line:
::
Differential Revision: <URL>
where ``<URL>`` is the URL for the code review, starting with
``http://llvm-reviews.chandlerc.com/``.
Note that Arcanist will add this automatically.
This allows people reading the version history to see the review for
context. This also allows Phabricator to detect the commit, close the
review, and add a link from the review to the commit.
