Subject: [PATCH] refactor(root): move root artefacts to their canonical
 locations

Applies the estate root-shape rollout: files that are not root-level by
necessity move to where their tooling and the estate canon expect them, and
every reference to them is updated in the same change.

  * QUICKSTART-MAINTAINER.adoc
  * build/guix.scm
      (from guix.scm)
      ->   build/guix.scm
  * .github/CONTRIBUTING.md
      (new)
  * 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml
  * CONTRIBUTING.adoc
      (deleted)
  * MAINTAINERS.adoc

Verified with `git apply --check` against current main before committing; no
behaviour change intended, the Justfile entry points keep working.
