[WINEHQ] Fix the sending_patches page

This is all about the http://www.winehq.org/site/sending_patches page.

On this page, 'Submitting Patches' points to:
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-devel/patches

However this page does not correspond to the current documentation. The 
broken chapter numbering is a dead give-away. The correct URL is:
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-devel/codingpractice

So the patch below fixes the URL, but the .../wine-devel/patches page 
should be deleted too. Actually, just to be on the safe side it's 
probably best to delete the whole directory and recreate it from the 
current documentation.

While I was at it I also tweaked the page to recommend asking for 
guidance on wine-devel in case a patch is silently dropped.


Changelog:
