65d20e4acc Simplified some of the code contribution guidelines.
The current guides have a few areas where they recommend an approach that is more complex than what most people take.

 - Rebase straight onto upsteam/msaster
 - Force push a rebased branch

I also fixed the conflict resolution help to be relevant to rebase commands, and kept the push instruction out of the rebase instruction.

433d29ce7b 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.

439339d4fc Broke up contributing docs into 4 sections and unified code contribtion guide.
The guidelines for contributing code were scattered across a section of contributing.md and collaboration-on-git.md.  I've updated this to have separate contributing/code.md page with all the content in a single cohesive page.  We also have contributing/documentation.md, contributing/issues.md and contributing/translation.md.
