Correct example in contribution guidelines

As written, the example for asserting runtime errors is written with an
early error. Because the error is expected to be reported prior to
program execution, the `assert.throws` function cannot be used to detect
it.

Demonstrate the usage of the helper function with a runtime error.

 Expectations for **runtime errors** should be defined using the `assert.throws` method and the appropriate JavaScript Error constructor function:
 
 ```javascript
-assert.throws(ReferenceError, function() {
-  1 += 1; // expect this to throw ReferenceError
+assert.throws(TypeError, function() {
+  null(); // expect this statement to throw a TypeError
 });
 ```
