hacking-howto: Update git section 

This still had some leftovers from the patch era. Since git and
specifically GitHub-like developing is much more mainstream now we don't
need to link introductions or even mention the idea of "patching".

The deleted "them" was referencing an old sentence referring to patches,
generated by the git cli. As emailing patches is not common at all for
GitHub repos, I removed the sentence altogether.

Also simplifies the 'branches' subsection a bit. Asking people to verify
their patch on master seems too much preliminary work and I doubt that
anyone does it anyway.

Please talk to us before working on new features to see whether they will be
accepted. A good way for this is to open an issue and asking for opinions on it.
Even for accepted features, this can be a good way to refine an idea upfront. However,
we don't want to see certain features in i3, e.g., switching window focus in an
Alt+Tab like way.

The contents of “master” are always stable. That is, it contains the source code
of the latest release, plus any bugfixes that were applied since that release.
New features are only found in the “next” branch. Therefore, if you are working
on a new feature, use the “next” branch. If you are working on a bugfix, use the
“next” branch, too, but make sure your code also works on “master”.
