doc: update contribution guide to make it friendlier for x/ repos

The current contributor documentation is tailored towards contributors
to golang/go, but we have a number of increasingly popular x/ repos.
In this CL, I tried to generalize the language to make it apply to any
repository.

Also, I fixed an old link I noticed in editors.html.
