There's no need to differentiate crediting contributors from committing
your changes, so let's simply make it the last step of "Commit your
changes" section.
This simply indents the text so it's now part of "Commit your changes"
list instead of the main list in the "Implement and commit changes"
section. Because of this reorganisation, the instruction to use "git
commit --amend" to add the contributors is moved to a note, and the
first few sentences are reworded to better match the wording of other
items in the "Commit your changes" list of instructions.

This should hopefully make it clearer what is expected from the
contributor.
This follows my understanding of git-commit(1)[1] where the following is
a git commit message:
"""
git commit title
git commit description
"""
I'm putting the "Fixes [YOCTO" line in "body of the commit message" so
it's understood as being different from the git commit description so
that the note admonition allowing us to have an empty commit description
doesn't apply to the "Fixes [YOCTO" line.

The example could be understood as the content of the commit message
once the editor (git config core.editor) opens, where the first
line is the actual commit title and not the commit description.
This example would make the Fixes line the commit title, which is not
what we want.
In short, according to my understanding of git-commit(1):
The following is a git commit message:

There's a (second) overhead factor applied in images generated with Wic,
and this is already documented in the .wks reference. However, the
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR entry does not mention it, and by looking at the
partition sizes (e.g. with parted) one may find it confusing that they
don't match with the expected rootfs size (e.g. in a scenario where the
extra space is "0" and IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR="1.0").
This second overhead is already documented, though:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/kickstart.html#command-part-or-partition
Mention the '--overhead-factor' option in the glossary entry and add a
reference to the wks documentation.

checks if it is properly sorted.
Add two comments between the start and end of the glossary for the
script to know where it's located.
The script also checks if the variables are properly sorted. It uses
difflib and returns the diff if there's a difference between the
unsorted and sorted list.
Messages beginning with "WARNING:" are reported by the Autobuilder,
which is the reason for this format.
