Add note about Gerrit account creation
Description:
Creating just a Gerrit password isn't enough. Before you can push a
change to Gerrit, you must also create/associate a Gerrit account with
the google account used to create the password.
This avoids "git push ..." rejections like this:

remote: [type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.LocalizedMessage]
remote: locale: "en-US"
remote: message: "\'git push\' requires a Gerrit user account."
