[libvirt-python PATCH] gitlab: add CONTRIBUTING.rst file to indicate use of merge requests

[Daniel P. Berrangé]

With the introduce of automated CI pipelines, we are now ready to switch
to using merge requests for the project. With this switch we longer wish
to have patches sent to the mailing list, and thus the git-publish
config is removed.

This CONTRIBUTING.rst is intentionally fairly generic, as I intend to
reuse it for most other projects too (libvirt.git being the exception
which has far more details).

+The libvirt Python API binding accepts code contributions via merge requests
+on the GitLab project:
+
+   https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-python/-/merge_requests

+will be accepted. The global pipeline status for the ``master`` branch is

+
+CI pipline results for merge requests will be visible via the contributors'
+own private repository fork:
