Removed 'release candidate branch' step of contributing.

I don't know what that release candidate branch stuff is, but:

 * I've never seen any of the core team do it
 * I think it's overkill for most patches
 * I think it's being too prescriptive: if contributors want to do that, that's cool, but it doesn't affect the core team.
 * It makes our contributing guidelines more complex than they need to be.
