Jean-Luc Makiola fbb14f9334 docs: add a contributing guide
Codeberg became canonical for issues, PRs and releases, but there was
nothing telling a contributor how any of it works — no CONTRIBUTING.md at
all, and no contributor entry point in the README.

The workflow it documents is issue-first: a feature needs a yes-or-no
before it needs code, since whether Calendula should do a thing is the one
decision a patch cannot make. Both features and bugs get a milestone, and
that milestone names the branch a PR targets (2.18.0 -> release/v2.18.0),
because main is a release trigger rather than a staging area. Typo and docs
fixes skip straight to a PR — an issue-per-typo helps nobody.

Two traps get their own sections because both waste a contributor's whole
afternoon: translations never go through PRs (Weblate owns every values-*
file, German included, and overwrites hand-edits on the next sync), and a
clone without --recurse-submodules cannot configure at all, since
floret-kit is a composite build compiled from source.

The rules section is the invariants that actually turn into review
comments — no network, no second database, no hand-patching UI state after
a write, domain/ free of Android imports, JVM-first tests, and the
reproducible-build flags that the official F-Droid repo depends on.

<!--
Thanks for contributing to Calendula!
Please skim CONTRIBUTING.md if you haven't:
https://codeberg.org/jlmakiola/calendula/src/branch/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Two things it's easy to get wrong:
• Features need a discussed issue first — an undiscussed feature PR may be
closed unmerged even when the code is good.
• Target the release branch for your issue's milestone (milestone 2.18.0 →
release/v2.18.0), not main. If you targeted main, just say so below and it
will be retargeted.

### What this changes
### Why
<!-- Closes #123 — link the issue this implements or fixes. -->
### How it was tested
<!--
Which of these ran green, and anything you exercised by hand. On-device notes
are especially useful for UI changes.
./gradlew lint test assembleDebug
python3 scripts/check_translations.py
-->
### Checklist
- [ ] There's an issue for this, and (for a feature) it got a go-ahead
- [ ] Targeting the release branch for that issue's milestone — or `main`, noted above
- [ ] `./gradlew lint test assembleDebug` passes locally
- [ ] No `values-*/strings.xml` touched (Weblate owns those; new English strings in `values/` are fine)
- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` updated under `## [Unreleased]`, if the change is user-visible
- [ ] No planning or design documents committed
