  Changed paths:
    M Documentation/internals/contributing/submitting-patches.rst

  Log Message:
  -----------
  submitting-patches: Update test and documentation recommendations.

Rationale:

- "make distcheck" is not as necessary anymore because we have a build-time
  check that fails if files in the repository are not distributed.

- xenserver has not been important for years, so remove the specific
  callout.

- We already have an informal custom of adding tests for new feaures and
  bug fixes, so codify it.

- Add note about updating NEWS.
