Docs copyedits: README.md + CONTRIBUTING.md

[khorne3]

The first in a series of edits to the code-server docs.

Changes include copy edits and basic structural reorg to README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md for clarity. All feedback regarding changes welcome.

If it's not a problem, I'd like to move contributing to the root level a la other open-source projects.

Sounds good!

Could you justify some of these changes? It's not clear to me what was improved.

@nhooyr Sure -- was there anything in particular that stood out for you? My goal is to make docs as clear as possible. The copy edits (spelling, grammar, etc.) are self-explanatory. I had to read some things multiple times to understand (I try to look at things from the perspective of someone who is completely new), and in some parts, it seemed the context/explanations were reversed.

Fair enough! As writer of these docs, I'm very biased in my opinion and understanding of them so I'll defer to you. I'll add some comments.

Overall 👍🏼

@nhooyr What do I need to do re: failing checks?

[nhooyr]

@khorne3 you can ignore those, I'll merge 4 you after my last comment is addressed

Thanks again @khorne3
