Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Make Helped-by tag supported

This is a short series that adds Helped-by tag to the list of accepted
tags in scripts/checkpatch.pl, and describes the intended use of this new
tag in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

The proposed Helped-by tag fits well to indicate someone had helped with
the development of a patch, to the level that doesn't warrant providing
a Co-developed-by tag, but is much more than it would've been indicated
by providing a Suggested-by tag.

Changes in v2:
  - Changed into a small patch series
  - Added a patch that describes the intended use of proposed Helped-by
    tag to Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, to hopefully
    help with accepting this new tag, and to make its intended use more
    clear, as suggested by Chen-Yu [1]
  - Added a patch that reflows a bit one short paragraph in the same
    documentation file mentioned above
