website: rework Contribute page to avoid duplication with manual
The manual contains details about how users can contribute to
buildroot. The website also had such a list, but with much less detail and
not containing all topics.
In order to avoid duplicating this information, simply list the different
topics without detail on the website, and add a link to the relevent
chapter of the manual.
[Peter: slightly reword]
