A baby step towards #406.

Having paired with a new contributor on godog this week, I noticed how we don't really document how to hack on godog.

I also noticed how unwelcoming the CONTRIBUTING.md file was.

I've changed the tone to be warmer and more welcoming, and I've also made an attempt to explain what people need to do if they want to start hacking on godog.

It would be amazing to have some input here from others who have more familiarity with this codebase. For example, I noticed there's a Makefile with a make test target, but to run that I need to install golint which is deprecated. Should we still advise people to install that too, and use the make test target?

Update I figured out how to install golint so I've changed the instructions to model that.
