Updated CONTRIBUTING.md

Changed the contribution guidelines to be more consistent with the style
that wlroots has evolved into, and removed some duplicate information
that already exists in the kernel style.

## Coding Style ## Coding Style
wlroots is written in C with the same style as Sway. The style guidelines is wlroots is written in C with a style similar to the [kernel
[kernel
style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), but style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), but
all braces go on the same line (*"but K&R says so!" is a silly way of justifying with a few notable differences.
something*). Some points to note:
* Do not use typedefs unless you have a good reason Try to keep your code conforming to C11 and POSIX as much as possible, and do
* Do not use macros unless you have a *really* good reason not use GNU extensions.
* Align `case` with `switch`
* Tabs, not spaces
* `char *pointer` - note position of `*`
* Use logging with reckless abandon
* Always include braces for if/for/while/etc, even for one-liners
An example of well formatted code: ### Brackets
```C Brackets always go on the same line, including in functions.
#include <stdio.h> Always include brackets for if/while/for, even if it's a single statement.

### Indentation
Indentations are a single tab.
For long lines that need to be broken, the continuation line should be indented
with an additional tab.
If the line being broken is opening a new block (functions, if, while, etc.),
the continuation line should be indented with two tabs, so they can't be
misread as being part of the block.
```c
really_long_function(argument1, argument2, ...,
argument3, argument4);
if (condition1 && condition2 && ...
condition3 && condition4) {
do_thing();
}
```
Try to break the line in the place which you think is the most appropriate.
### Line Length
Try to keep your lines under 80 columns, but you can go up to 100 if it
improves readability.
### Names
Function and type names should be prefixed with `wlr_submodule_` (e.g. `struct
wlr_drm_plane`, `wlr_output_set_cursor`). For static functions and types local
to a file, the names chosen aren't as important.
### Construction/Destruction Functions
For functions that are responsible for constructing and destructing an object,
they should be written as a pair of one of two forms:
* `init`/`finish`: These initialize/deinitialize a type, but are **NOT**
responsible for allocating it. They should accept a pointer to some
pre-allocated memory (e.g. a member of a struct).
* `create`/`destroy`: These also initialize/deinitialize, but will return a
pointer to a `malloc`ed chunk of memory, and will `free` it in `destroy`.
A destruction function should always be able to accept a NULL pointer or an
otherwise uninitialised value and exit cleanly; this simplifies error handling
a lot.
### Error Codes
For functions not returning a value, they should return a (stdbool.h) bool to
indicated if they succeeded or not.
### Macros
Try to keep the use of macros to a minimum, especially if a function can do the
job. If you do need to use them, try to keep them close to where they're being
used and `#undef` them after.
## Meson Coding Style
The Meson style is similar to the C style, but indentations are 2 spaces.
