Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23728: Use the imperative mood in example subject line

efde11161599deb6d98fb5773c3225d589bb14c2 Use the imperative mood in example subject line (Tobin Harding)

Pull request description:

  The section `Committing Patches` within `CONTIBUTING.md` contains an example commit subject line that violates rule seven of the linked guide to writing commit logs (Chris Beams famous blog post).

  We should practice what we preach, especially in examples :)

  Use the imperative mood in example commit message subject line.
