David B. Kinder 306d624795 doc: Add project CONTRIBUTING repo page
Summarize the ACRN contributing guidelines (fully documented in a
separate document) and add to the top level of our project repo (as
expected by GitHub and our Technical Steering Committee)

Also, tweak the mailing list reference to recommend acrn-users instead
of acrn-dev

Contribution Guidelines
#######################
As an open-source project, we welcome and encourage the community to submit
patches directly to the project. In our collaborative open-source environment,
standards and methods for submitting changes help reduce the chaos that can result
from an active development community.
This document briefly summarizes the full `Contribution
Guidelines <http://projectacrn.github.io/latest/developer-guides/contribute_guidelines.html>`_
documentation.
* ACRN uses the permissive open source `BSD 3-Clause license`_
that allows you to freely use, modify, distribute and sell your own products
that include such licensed software.
* There are some imported or reused components of the ACRN project that
use other licensing and are clearly identified.
* The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) process is followed to
ensure developers are following licensing criteria for their
contributions, and documented with a ``Signed-off-by`` line in commits.
* ACRN development workflow is supported on Linux.
* Source code for the project is maintained in the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
* Issue and feature tracking is done using GitHub issues in this repo.
* A Continuous Integration (CI) system runs on every Pull Request (PR)
to verify several aspects of the PR including Git commit formatting,
coding style, sanity-check builds, and documentation builds.
* The `ACRN user mailing list`_ is a great place to engage with the
community, ask questions, discuss issues, and help each other.
