3c29ced243 CONTRIBUTING.md: Move to repo root, where it is more visible.
We found that many users found it difficult to locate this document.

Github supports it in the root, see:

doc: prepare for commonmark
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.

Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist

While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.

dc3dea22be doc/submitting-changes: should -> must
To me, as a native English speaker, this doesn't change the meaning of
the sentence at all.  But to a non-native speaker, this can read like
the staging-next rules are only recommendations.  Let's make this
clearer.
