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.

Add some unconflicting changes on each head, to make sure we really
are merging, unlike :local and :other
$ hg up -C
2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
1 other heads for branch "default"
$ printf "\n\nEnd of file\n" >> a
$ hg ci -m "Add some stuff at the end"
$ hg up -r 1
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ printf "Start of file\n\n\n" > tmp
$ cat a >> tmp
$ mv tmp a
$ hg ci -m "Add some stuff at the beginning"
Now test :merge-other and :merge-local
$ hg merge
