Create CONTRIBUTION document

[xezon]

We need to create a document that outlines CONTRIBUTION rules

Similar to how we have done here:
https://github.com/TheSuperHackers/GeneralsGamePatch/blob/main/CONTRIBUTE.md#how-to-contribute-as-developer

We need in code documentation of same/similar kind. So for example in code put:

// TheSuperHackers @bugfix xezon 04/03/2025 Fix buffer overflow of buf variable

And we also want to prepare the yaml documentation so that we can build change logs later.

We can put the yaml change logs into folders
Generals/Design/Changes/v1
GeneralsMD/Design/Changes/v1

For code there are probably more rules we need. I don't have a good overview of it. Can someone take care of it?

Doesn't this require us to sit down and agree on style-guide, commit-/PR template, as well as other relevant contribution factors?

This need to be with the current EA codebase in mind as (sometimes) even just changing styling can (for some reason) change behavior of the code.
Then when all of this is in place, we can write the CONTRIBUTION.md file and add some automatic styling, etc..

Yes we need to find consensus and then implement that. That effort is currently in discussion at
