Summary

Adds a comprehensive contributing guide to help new contributors get started with the RustChain project.

Changes

  • Added CONTRIBUTING.md with:
    • Getting started guide for new contributors
    • Code style guidelines (Python, Shell, Documentation)
    • Testing procedures and checklist
    • Pull request process and review expectations
    • Bounty claiming instructions
    • First-time contributor tips

Motivation

The project currently lacks a formal contributing guide, which makes it harder for new contributors to understand how to contribute effectively. This guide provides clear, actionable steps for anyone wanting to contribute to RustChain.
