Conversation
The existing CONTRIBUTING.md was out of date and was vastly inferior to the contributing guidelines in the main CouchDB project. This pull request takes the Apache CouchDB's CONTRIBUTING.md and changes it slightly to apply to the CouchDB Nano repo. In particular it brings across the section about AI-authored code, to align the CouchDB Nano repo with CouchDB itself, in that AI-authored code is expressly forbidden.
