Move CONTRIBUTING.md to docs/

Browse Source 
It is better from visibility PoV if the CONTRIBUTING.md file is visible at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/ .
This page can be indexed by search engines and searched by our users later.
It is also easier to provide a link to this page now comparing to the old link, which is much harder to remember:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

While at it, syncrhonize docs/CONTRIBUTING.md with .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/pull_request_template.md ,
so they do not contain duplicate information, which can be outdated over time. Now all the relevant information
is located at docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, while .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/pull_request_template.md refers this doc.

This is a follow-up for c006db1798

If you like VictoriaMetrics and want to contribute, then we need the following:
- Filing issues and feature requests [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues).
- Spreading a word about VictoriaMetrics: conference talks, articles, comments, experience sharing with colleagues.
- Updating documentation.
We are open to third-party pull requests provided they follow [KISS design principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle):
- Prefer simple code and architecture.
- Avoid complex abstractions.
- Avoid magic code and fancy algorithms.
- Avoid [big external dependencies](https://medium.com/@valyala/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d).
- Minimize the number of moving parts in the distributed system.
- Avoid automated decisions, which may hurt cluster availability, consistency or performance.
Adhering `KISS` principle simplifies the resulting code and architecture, so it can be reviewed, understood and verified by many people.
Before sending a pull request please check the following:
- [ ] All commits are signed and include `Signed-off-by` line. Use `git commit -s` to include `Signed-off-by` your commits. See this [doc](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work) about how to sign your commits.
- [ ] Tests are passing locally. Use `make test` to run all tests locally.
- [ ] Linting is passing locally. Use `make check-all` to run all linters locally.
