This changes the contributer documentation around a bit. I was coming back to the project after a bit away wanting to use the contributor guide to quickly figure out how to run tests and got lost.

I think this way of organising them also makes it less intimidating to get started because the first thing isn't "now you need to install minikube and helm". A lot of work can be done without ever touching all that stuff.

It also gets less and less verbose as we progress down the rabbit hole. The assumption is that if you aren't scared of installing minikube and helm you have worked out how to clone a git repository (or can do so). This fixes a pet peeve of mine that a lot of guides are so verbose that you can't find anything if you are using them as a reference. Maybe the solution is to have a guide/howto as part of the documentation and a reference in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Thanks for the ideas. I updated the doc based on your comments. They all got implemented. There is one more thing to discuss (or punt to a later issue): #824 (comment)
