Add a CONTRIBUTING.md file
Github will display a link to it when a user wants to create an issue or pull request. Also make some minor adjustments to DOCS/contribute.md, which is developer oriented, and for which I see no reason to merge it with the new file.

+Reporting bugs
+==============
+
+- State your platform and mpv version.
+- Attach a log file made with ``-v`` or ``--log-file=output.txt``.
+- If you think this is file specific, upload a sample file and link it.
+- Don't report multiple unrelated/barely related bugs in one issue.
+- Read: https://mpv.io/bug-reports/
+
+Asking questions
+================
+
+Preferably, asking questions should be done via IRC (#mpv on irc.freenode.net),
+but asking questions by opening is also barely tolerated.
+
+Sending patches
+===============
+
+See: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/contribute.md
+
+In particular, be aware that all changes to GPL code must come with the
+implicit agreement that they might be LGPLv2.1+ relicensed at a later point.
