Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing backends in rclone, particularly the S3 or Swift backends, to understand the interface. Then integrate with the go ceph library to implement the CephFS operations. Start by setting up a Ceph test environment and explore the go ceph library's capabilities, especially for bucket and object operations.
