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.
