Add contributing info to CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md
As discussed on llvm-dev [1], this patch adds a brief CONTRIBUTING.md to the top-level of the repo, with a pointer to Contributing.html. This should make it easier to discover the contributing information and also be highlighted in the Github UI. It also updates README.md to link to Contributing.html.
