Explicitely state that "Some Body" is a real name

Submitted by Oliver Kopp

Link to original bug (#526350)

Description

At the section "Git Commit Records" in the handbook (https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#resources-commit) it reads

Signed-off-by: Some Body somebody@somewhere.com

It is not clear to readers that "Some Body" has to be a real name AND the name which was used for signing the ECA.

Most newcomers do not configure their git client correctly and I need a definitive source of truth (which is the handbook).

Maybe just add following texts:

• to 1: "The name "Some Body" is the real name of the person"
• to 4: "The name "Some Bodyelse" has to be replaced by the real name of the person."
• adapt 5: "using the same email address" --> "using the same name and email address"
