Link to other resources instead of inlining their information

The other places are more accurate and up-to-date.

- Link to `std-dev-guide` in CONTRIBUTING.md

  Thom and Mara said the guide is in reasonably good shape, and it's tailored more closely to people working on the standard library.

- Link to CONTRIBUTING.md instead of rustc-dev-guide in the main readme

  CONTRIBUTING.md has more information and also links the std-dev-guide.

- Link to forge for the list of tested platforms; the one in the readme
  was hopelessly out of date.

Zulip stream. We have lots of docs below of how to get started on your own, but
the Zulip stream is the best place to *ask* for help.
Documentation for contributing to Rust is located in the [Guide to Rustc Development](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/),
commonly known as the [rustc-dev-guide]. Despite the name, this guide documents
not just how to develop rustc (the Rust compiler), but also how to contribute to the standard library and rustdoc.
Documentation for contributing to the compiler or tooling is located in the [Guide to Rustc
Development][rustc-dev-guide], commonly known as the [rustc-dev-guide]. Documentation for the
standard library in the [Standard library developers Guide][std-dev-guide], commonly known as the [std-dev-guide].
