Reorganized the Contributing to Django docs.

This work follows a comprehensive review conducted during the DjangoCon US 2023
sprints. Changes include:
 - Updated the title of the main page for better alignment with the content.
 - Removed emojis to enhance accessibility and avoid cultural specificity.
 - Improved the layout and navigation of contributing documentation.
 - Unified sections for communication channels and community links.
 - Grouped resources according to the Diátaxis systematic approach.
