c74d e74c7666c7 CONTRIBUTING.md: Clarify clarification on periods
Commit 9428c28f7a added a note in
`CONTRIBUTING.md` saying that, "For consistency, there should not be a
period at the end of the commit message."

I believe it would be more correct (with respect to consistency) to
say that there should not be a full stop/period at the end of the
commit message's *summary line* (the first line of the commit message)
(indeed, the example commit message just above this note clearly does
use full stops outside of its summary line), and this patch changes
`CONTRIBUTING.md` accordingly.

Bjørn Forsman 8537cf0f81 CONTRIBUTING.md: suggest "nixos/<module>" prefix for NixOS changes
Suggest prefixing commit messages that touches NixOS code with
"nixos/<module>" instead of the current "<name> service" prefix.

"<name> service" is limiting in that NixOS code is more than the
services. It is also easier to spot NixOS changes with explicit
"nixos/..." prefix.
