docs: netdev: add a note on selftest posting

Browse source 
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.

Co-posting selftests
--------------------
Selftests should be part of the same series as the code changes.
Specifically for fixes both code change and related test should go into
the same tree (the tests may lack a Fixes tag, which is expected).
Mixing code changes and test changes in a single commit is discouraged.
