docs: netdev: add a note on selftest posting
We haven't had much discussion on the list about this, but
a handful of people have been confused about rules on
posting selftests for fixes, lately. I tend to post fixes
with their respective selftests in the same series.
There are tradeoffs around size of the net tree and conflicts
but so far it hasn't been a major issue.
