![]() Link to documentation-specific guidelines.
Changed contribution information URL because it's not obvious how to get from the current URL to the documentation-specific content.
The current URL points to this "Getting Started" page, which contains nothing specific about documentation[*] and instead launches into how to *build* `rustc` which is not a strict prerequisite for contributing documentation fixes:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html
[*] The most specific content is a "Writing documentation" bullet point which is not itself a link to anything (I guess a patch for that might be helpful too).
### Why?
Making this change will make it easier for people who wish to make small "drive by" documentation fixes (and read contribution guidelines ;) ) which I find are often how I start contributing to a project. (Exhibit A: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77050 :) )
### Background
My impression is the change of content linked is an unintentional change due to a couple of other changes:
* Originally, the link pointed to `contributing.md` which started with a "table of contents" linking to each section. But the content in `contributing.md` was removed and replaced with a link to the "Getting Started" section here:
