Single point of truth (SPOT): Do not sprinkle "contributing" guidelines
across various resources; CONTRIBUTING.md is the authority.
DRY: Do not repeat guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md which are covered by
ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
- Remove mention of "build-issues" and "runtime-issues" sections from
the "Troubleshooting" page; they're already mentioned at the top of
the section: "Before reporting an issue, see the ...".
- As of [1], clint-ignored-files.txt isn't used anymore.

"vimrc" refers to all files that are used to configure Neovim. The main
configuration file is init.vim nowadays.
All nvimrc references that are left refer to a local ".nvimrc" which is read
if 'exrc' is set. ".ngvimrc" references were completely wiped.
Closes#3552.
- In general, many sections have been expanded a lot.
- Defer to the wiki when it makes sense.
- Rewrite a bunch of things to be clearer. There is a lot more
verbosity, but clarifying as many items as we can in this document is
preferable to it being done later in the issue tracker.
