Move the pull request guide to the developer guide

Motivation:

CONTRIBUTING.md is useful only because it lets Github show a user the
link to it so the user can check what information we need before
submitting a bug report.  However, Github does not do the same for a
pull request submission form, and thus there's no reason to keep the
information about how to submit a good pull request in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Modification:

Replace the section about issuing a pull request with the link to the
official developer guide.

Result:

CONTRIBUTING.md is easier to maintain.

## How to submit a pull request ## How to contribute your work
Pull requests should be targeted at the branch for the latest stable releases. If the pull request is for fixing a bug which also affects an old branch like `3.x`, we recommend you to submit another pull request for that branch, too. Before submitting a pull request or push a commit, please read [our developer guide](http://netty.io/wiki/developer-guide.html).
1. [Rebase](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Rebasing) your changes against the upstream branch. Resolve any conflicts that arise.
1. Write JUnit test cases if possible. If not sure about how to write one, ask to write one before it's merged.
1. Run `mvn test` before the initial submission or the subsequent pushes, and ensure the build succeeds.
For more information on developing Netty, please refer to [the developer guide](http://netty.io/wiki/developer-guide.html).
