hugo: Update contribution guidelines
Refactor the contribution guidelines in the README and CONTRIBUTING
files.
Simplify the contribution guide in the README and move most of the
complex stuff into CONTRIBUTING.
Add an explicit commit message guidelines section to CONTRIBUTING. Keep
all of the guidelines from Chris Beams except for the 72 character line
limit (we don't follow that, nor does the Go team). Add three new
guidelines: package prefix in subject, references in body, and
encouragement of message body in general.
Add a new section to CONTRIBUTING on using Git Remotes.

It’s okay to force update your pull request. - * **Write a good commit message.** This [blog article](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit) is a good resource for learning how to write good commit messages, the most important part being that each commit message should have a title/subject in imperative mood starting with a capital letter and no trailing period: *"Return error on wrong use of the Paginator"*, **NOT** *"returning some error."* Also, if your commit references one or more GitHub issues, always end your commit message body with *See #1234* or *Fixes #1234*. Replace *1234* with the GitHub issue ID. The last example will close the issue when the commit is merged into *master*. Sometimes it makes sense to prefix the commit message with the packagename (or docs folder) all lowercased ending with a colon. That is fine, but the rest of the rules above apply. So it is "tpl: Add emojify template func", not "tpl: add emojify template func.", and "docs: Document emoji", not "doc: document emoji." - * Make sure `go test ./...` passes, and `go build` completes.
