Draft contributors.md update (#97)

* Draft contributors.md update

This is a proposed updated to the contributors.md document inspired by
the contributing guidelines of the actions/cache project [1]. There are
some differences, most notable the inclusion of "Development Details"
which explains and motivates the development tools (to an extend).

* Split Contributing Guidelines and Development Handbook

Split the "Contributing Guidelines" currently found in
docs/contributors.md into a CONTRIBUTING.md file, containing the
Contributing Guidelines, and a docs/development.md file, containing
details on how the development/testing of this project works.

# Development Handbook
This project is written in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), a typed variant of JavaScript, and we use [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) to get a consistent code style.
Because of how GitHub Actions are run, the source code of this project is transpiled from TypeScript into JavaScript. The transpiled code (found in `lib/`) is subsequently compiled using [NCC](https://github.com/vercel/ncc/blob/master/readme.md) (found in `dist/`) to avoid having to include the `node_modules/` directory in the repository.
