Convert CONTRIBUTING to markdown and some updates

This converts the original CONTRIBUTING document to markdown for better
rendering on github.

Additionally this removes some wording which was e-mail/patch specific
and instead refers to changes as contributions or commits.

Pull requests:
--------------
Changes to this project should be proposed as pull requests on Github
at: https://github.com/lxc/lxd
Proposed changes will then go through code review there and once acked,
be merged in the main branch.
License and copyright:
----------------------
By default, any contribution to this project is made under the Apache
2.0 license. The author of a change remains the copyright holder of
their code (no copyright assignment).
Developer Certificate of Origin:
--------------------------------
To improve tracking of contributions to this project we will use a
process modeled on the DCO 1.1 and use a "sign-off" procedure
on patches that are being emailed around or contributed in any other
way.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right
to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple:
if you can certify the below:
Developer Certificate of Origin
Version 1.1
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
660 York Street, Suite 102,
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
then you just add a line saying
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.org>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)

An example of a valid sign-off line is:
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.org>
Use your real name and a valid e-mail address.
Sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions are allowed.
We also require each commit be individually signed-off by their author,
even when part of a larger set.
