contributing: add new file with a pointer to the wiki This also includes what I consider to be the minimum set of steps someone should be able to perform even if they can't run the testsuite. Hopefully this will help new contributors know to at least run the two checkers that find most things that (in my experience) require manual cleanup.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see:

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
