Subject: docs: add note about sending merge-requests from forks

Sending MRs from the main Mesa repository increase clutter in the
repository, and decrease visibility of project-wide branches. So it's
better if MRs are sent from forks instead.

Let's add a note about this, in case its not obvious to everyone.
