CONTRIBUTING: remove suggestion about the order of arguments

Particularities about style should be enforced at the tooling level (linters,
code beautifiers etc.). Otherwise, it adds more weight on the PR reviewing,
distracting both authors and reviewers from the substance of the changes.

contributing: Explain how to run common tests

As a beginning contributor, it is far from obvious where to find tests,
how to run individual tests locally for quick development, and which
tests do what. The new "Testing changes" section aims to help with all
of these.

The transition to markdown is done now and the historical trivia is not
helpful for first time contributers who are the primary audience for
this document. Telling the user to edit a file by editing a file is
superfluous.

CONTRIBUTING: Reference release notes in package bumps
...
This change improves the recommendation for good commit messages to
include release notes on package bumps.
Including the release notes increases the likelihood that they will be
taken into consideration during review. Having them included in the
review is important to be able to judge whether changes made during a
version bump are sensible, sufficient or complete.
The burden of retrieving the release notes for arbitrary package bumps
should not rest on the relatively small group of reviewers.
