Summary: We technically don't use K&R. These documents and the rest of the codebase are full of examples of the correct style, which should be unambiguous to a reasonable reader.

Summary: @btrahan asked about this but I gave the wrong answer. These
currently do not turn into links. I think they might have in the past,
but if they did the rule is a little weird and feels specific to my
use. We can reexamine this at some point, but for now just make the
links work in a normal, reasonable sort of way.

Summary:
- Warn users that they'll need to be comfortable with the CLI.
- Move XHProf stuff to the developer docs, since few/no normal users need it.

Summary:
Fixes T6347. This refines the "contributor guide" documents to basically lock down support further. Notable changes in policy:
- Bugs: Emphasis on reproduction steps, strong emphasis on using Maniphest. Emphasis on what we support.
- Features: Emphasis on describing problems instead of solutions, emphasis on realistic expecations about timelines. Strong emphasis on using Maniphest.
- Code: Strong emphasis on coordinating with us first. No GitHub pull requests. Emphasis on us ignoring contributions we don't have time to deal with. Suggests local forks.
Test Plan: Read these through; let me generate them and take some screenshots for easier reading.

Ref T4843. Document the new assistive features in the developer docs.

Summary:
It's fairly common for people to show up and be interested in finding easy stuff to work on. This stuff basically doesn't exist and probably never will: it doesn't make much sense to deliberately leave easy bugs broken just because someone might show up and want to fix a couple of easy bugs.
Almost all of the work that's valuable to us requires a depth or bredth of context which can't be acquired in a few hours here and there, and probably always will. I think it also always //should//, in that as long as we continue refactoring and clearing technical debt aggressively and having solid static analysis support tools, we should never have a large backlog of human-intelligence codebase tasks. The closest we've ever come were probably `pht()` and `phutil_tag()`, which both have a lot of subtleties and we mostly automated `phutil_tag()` anyway. These tasks are also //incredibly boring// to write and review.
So, accept this as a reality and realign the contributor documentation to try to deal with this case:
- Set expectations about starter tasks not existing and throwing a couple of hours at the project writing code being a hard path.
- Suggest non-code contributions which anyone can do.
- Segue into code contributions with context and suggestions.
Test Plan: Generated and read documentation.
