CONTRIBUTING.md: remove historical trivia 

The transition to markdown is done now and the historical trivia is not
helpful for first time contributers who are the primary audience for
this document. Telling the user to edit a file by editing a file is
superfluous.

## Generating 23.11 Release Notes

<!--

note: title unchanged even though we don't need regeneration because extant

PRs will link here. definitely change the title for 23.11 though.

-->



Documentation in nixpkgs is transitioning to a markdown-centric workflow. In the past release notes required a translation step to convert from markdown to a compatible docbook document, but this is no longer necessary.



Steps for updating 23.11 Release notes:



1. Edit `nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2311.section.md` with the desired changes

2. Commit changes to `rl-2311.section.md`.
