Links in CONTRIBUTING.rst went to other .rst files rather than the SciPy website.
This is problematic because the links in the other .rst files don’t work unless they are rendered. Furthermore, new contributors are likely to see CONTRIBUTING.rst because it is linked from the new contributors popup.
This commit fixes the issue by linking to the SciPy website from CONTRIBUTING.rst rather than other .rst files.
Also, the link to John Hunter's BSD pitch has suffered from link rot, so I replaced the link to a new link to an archive of the website.
