Updates source.android.com for external contributions to WebKit
Instructs external contributors that changes to external/webkit should be made
directly at webkit.org.
I've assumed that in the future we will (or should now) direct external
contributors to make changes upstream for other upstream projects too.

+<h2><a name="upstream-projects"></a>Upstream Projects</h2>
+Android makes use of a number of other open-source projects, such as the Linux
+kernel and WebKit, as described in
+<a href="{@docRoot}source/code-lines.html">Branches & Releases</a>. For the
+upstream projects detailed below, changes should be made directly upstream. Such
+changes will be incorporated into the Android tree as part of the usual process
+of pulling these projects.
+<h3>WebKit</h3>
+All changes to the WebKit project at <code>external/webkit</code> should be made
+upstream at <a href="http://www.webkit.org">http://www.webkit.org</a>. The
+process begins by filing a WebKit bug. This bug should use <code>Android</code>
+for the <code>Platform</code> and <code>OS</code> fields only if the bug is
+specific to Android. Bugs are far more likely to receive the reviewers'
+attention once a proposed fix is added and tests are included. See
+<a href="http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html">Contributing Code to
+WebKit</a> for details.
