docs: mention MyFirstContribution in more places

While the MyFirstContribution guide exists and has received some use and
positive reviews, it is still not as discoverable as it could be. Add a
reference to it from the GitHub pull request template, where many
brand-new contributors may look. Also add a reference to it in
SubmittingPatches, which is the central source of guidance for patch
contribution.
