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.

  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  was hopelessly out of date.
