Create CONTRIBUTING.md file in project root

[brylie]

New developers may benefit from a brief description of how they can get involved. This description is often provided in a file called CONTRIBUTING. Github will look for a file called CONTRIBUTING.md and link new developers to that document when they create a pull request.

Task

• Create CONTRIBUTING.md in project root folder
• Move "Getting Started" and other relevant details from README.md to CONTRIBUTING.md
• Move contents from existing contributing.md in docs repository to the new CONTRIBUTING.md in project root folder and remove the original from docs repository.
• Add useful sections inspired from other CONTRIBUTING.md files (see below)
