doc: remove unnecessary contributing.md section

Remove "How to Contribute in Issues". This is not Node.js-specific and is likely to cause many readers to tune out. If we want to include this kind of how-all-issue-trackers-are-intended-to-work information, let's link to an external source. But I think it's OK to simply remove it.

-## How to Contribute in Issues
-
-For any issue, there are fundamentally three ways an individual can
-contribute:
-
-1. By opening the issue for discussion: For instance, if you believe that you
-   have uncovered a bug in Node.js, creating a new issue in the `nodejs/node`
-   issue tracker is the way to report it.
-2. By helping to triage the issue: This can be done either by providing
-   supporting details (a test case that demonstrates a bug), or providing
-   suggestions on how to address the issue.
-3. By helping to resolve the issue: Typically this is done either in the form
-   of demonstrating that the issue reported is not a problem after all, or more
-   often, by opening a Pull Request that changes some bit of something in
-   `nodejs/node` in a concrete and reviewable manner.
