CONTRIBUTING: Add entry point for new contributors

It's generally expected that a git repository will contain this file,
which serves as an entry point for people interested in contributing
to the project.

In our case, we have extensive documentation available on the
website which we don't want to duplicate, so let's just point people
there.
