contribution guidelines: remove no longer relevant sections and make the sections on naming somewhat less strict

[jenshnielsen]

Start updating the contribution guide.
Remove no longer relevant sections and make the sections on naming somewhat less strict:

There is a lot more updating that could be done. Specifically I think we should perhaps write something about pyvisa-sim and example notebooks (or at least add some links)

This looks great, thanks for simplifying! I would also perhaps add a section on how to write tests using mock instruments.

Agreed (my reference to pyvisa-sim was intended to cover something similar)

I think that for now this is a good cleanup.

Shall the PR be renamed to "contribution guidelines: remove no longer relevant sections and make the sections on naming somewhat less strict" ? :)
