doc: develop/process: Clarify name usage in the Signed-off-by line

Browse Source 
Long ago we took the Linux Kernel documentation about adding a
Signed-off-by line and adjusted it slightly for how we organized things.
In 2003 Linus clarified the intent and then re-worded what the name
portion of the Signed-off-by line can be. Mirror that change here.
