Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the duplicate symbol errors for 'go.info.go.builtin.error.Error' and 'go.isstmt.go.builtin.error.Error' reported on Plan 9. Check if the issue is specific to the Plan 9 linker or if it's a general problem with the test. Trace the origin of the symbols and compare payload lengths.
