[Community goal] Update contributor documentation

As the Ussuri goal we have an OpenStack project wide contributing
documentation template [1]. Nova has its own contributor documentation
so this patch adds the new contributing.rst according to the global
template and links the sections in it to the existing Nova contributor
documentation.

Also the top level CONTRIBUTING.rst template has been changed in the
cookiecutter repo[2]. So this patch updates the CONTRIBUTING.rst according
to the new template.
