Description of change

Replace the description of the commit message requirements in onboarding.md with a link to the commit message requirements as they appear in the CONTRIBUTING.md.

Advantages include:

  • Only one place to keep the commit message requirements up to date
  • Most collaborators being onboarded will already have several commits in their name and already be familiar with the requirements. So repeating information here makes finding the new information (about metadata, for example) harder to find.
