Subject: [PATCH] refactor(root): relocate the contributing guide into .github/

The estate canonical location is .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, which GitHub
auto-discovers; the root copy is removed and references are updated in the same
change.

  * .github/CONTRIBUTING.md
      (new)
  * CONTRIBUTING.adoc
      (deleted)
