manual: contributing: don't recommend leaving out changelog from patches
Currently, the manual states that if you send a series and include a
changelog in the introduction mail (0 of x), it is not necessary to include
a changelog on the individual patches.
This is not always convenient: for large patch series it requires going back
to the introduction mail when opening each patch, to understand what
changed.
This patch rewords the paragraph accordingly.
