Update links and clarify participation requirement in CONTRIBUTING.md (#902)
This aligns the file with the usual template file at: https://github.com/w3c/ash-nazg/blob/master/templates/WG-CONTRIBUTING-SW.md Updates are: 1. The file gave the impression that the requirement to participate or make a non-member patent licensing commitment applied to all contributions, whereas it does not apply to non-substantive contributions in practice. 2. Links to the W3C Patent Policy and Software and Document License were adjusted.
