doc: drop 50-character limit for commit messages

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/addaleax/contributing-50-chars into master

Replace the current limit of 50 characters for the first line of the commit message with a more flexible formulation.

Copying the reasoning from https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8294#issuecomment-242902382:

50 characters is a pretty hard limit when you need to include something like child_process: and/or are a non-native speaker with reduced vocabulary.
