Description of Change

This buttons up the remaining linting checks:

  • chore: update patches must have no commit body and only only non-content patch changes
  • A commit referencing a single CL must use <CL_NUMBER>: <upstream CL's original title> as the first line of the commit message
  • A commit referencing multiple CLs can have whatever commit message it would like

This also enforces that all commits meet our existing patterns. As always, Skip-Lint: <reason> can be used to skip linting any given commit.

I also tasked Claude with updating the Chromium upgrade skill to ensure compliance with these linting rules. For now I've disabled the non-zero exit code locally, so that we can let this get some mileage and ensure Claude is complying before always enforcing it.
