Alexandra Settle 85107272be [contrib-guide] Updating url to doc-contrib-guide
Based off conversation at the PTG, we agreed it would be
beneficial to ensure the contrib-guide is clearly marked
as the doc contrib guide outside of the title.

This change includes a redirect.

JSON conventions
================
OpenStack uses JSON format. Use the following JSON formatting conventions:
* Format JSON files to be human readable.
* Use four spaces for indentation (matching OpenStack conventions used in
Python and shell scripts). Do not use tab characters in the code, always
use spaces.
* Use one space after the name-separator (colon).
* Obey the formal JSON format; in particular, wrap strings in double
(not single) quotes.
* Sample files may have their keys ordered if that makes the file easier
to understand. Automatic reformatting tools preserve the order of keys.
Example:
.. code-block:: json
{
"uuid": "d8e02d56-2648-49a3-bf97-6be8f1204f38",
"availability_zone": "nova",
"hostname": "test.novalocal",
"launch_index": 0,
"array0": [],
"array1": [
"low"
],
"array3": [
"low",
"high",
"mid"
],
"object0": {},
"object1": {
"value": "low",
"role": "some"
},
"name": "test"
}
