firmware: Update information in linux.git about adding firmware
Kyle McMartin joined the linux-firmware maintainers, and we now
have an alias <linux-firmware@kernel.org> which reaches all of us.
Include that instead of the individual addresses.
Add some further recommendations that were already included in the
README in linux-firmware.git added by Xose Vazquez Perez
<xose.vazquez@gmail.com>.
