Contracts page

Contracts page is now correct and relevant for Decred.

This all looks good. I'm only wondering if since in this page we're pretty much using word-for-word from the Bitcoin dev docs, we need to credit them, or do some rewriting. We could just leave a brief summary here saying Decred supports simple smart contracts like in Bitcoin, for example multi-sig contracts...possibly just link to outside resource on that for the example? Also, wondering here if the Decred opcodes enable some other type of simple smart contract worth mentioning? General differences to Bitcoin?

I have mixed feelings about including this page in the site at all tbh. We could write our own version at a later date and explain how smart contracts are used for atomic swaps and VSP voting on tickets without taking custody of funds.

Shall we pull this out and create an issue, similar to #16 ?

I think the term 'contracts' is loaded and ill defined in the space generally. Its place in the Bitcoin docs almost seems provocative or political, even if it wasn't intended to be (see! we have smart contracts too!). I think its probably best to leave this out for now. We can cover the contract functionality we have (atomic swaps, voting contracts, etc.) in other places. If we change the consensus rules down the line to add more functionality to smart contracts, maybe we add a contracts page then.

Removed the contracts page and opened #24 to implement it later
