This PR adds a contribution guidelines document, which I co-wrote with ChatGPT. I gave it this prompt:
Give me a good contributing.md file for an open source JavaScript/TypeScript library that prioritizes stability over new features, requires test updates, and requires documentation changes. Make the tone friendly and welcoming.
I took the results and edited to be in my voice.
For CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, I used the boilerplate option from GitHub, but removed the contact info portion. My email is listed on my GitHub, as is Jamon's, but I didn't feel comfortable listing either of them in the codebase for spam considerations.
If we need a better contact method, I'd be happy to consider it.
I'm also happy to review PRs to change these guidelines, but I want to start somewhere since we haven't updated them in a long time. I removed the older contribution file entirely.
