doc: clarify "do not capitalize the first word" rule
The same "do not capitalize the first word" rule is applied to both
our patch titles and error messages, but the existing description
was fuzzy in two aspects.
* For error messages, it was not said that this was only about the
first word that begins the sentence.
* For both, it was not clear when a capital letter there was not an
error. We avoid capitalizing the first word when the only reason
you would capitalize it is because it happens to be the first
word in the sentence. If a proper noun, which is usually spelled
in capital letters, happens to come at the beginning of the
sentence, it should be kept in capital letters.
