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.

RST conventions
===============
OpenStack documentation uses reStructuredText (RST) markup syntax
with Sphinx extensions.
RST is a powerful and straightforward markup language that, in combination
with Sphinx, provides a wide range of facilities for intelligent and
appealing documentation creation. It uses simple and implicit
syntax to introduce a variety of content elements such as titles,
code blocks, vertical lists, and many others. All the source content formatted
using RST is stored in files with the ``.rst`` extension.
To keep the documentation format consistent, follow the guidelines
included in this chapter for all the RST source content. When in doubt,
use simpler formatting.
.. note::
All the examples provided in this chapter are for illustration purposes
only and cannot be regarded as pieces of true technical information.
