CONTRIBUTING: Tweak the language

Tweak the language around several items, as well as making things less
overly verbose. In addition, tweak the language about names, idenity and
project requirements around it to match the policy and intentions more
closely. Much of this language was taken from a recent proposal in the
git mailing list and matches well how the project has accepted
contributions in the past. It's also been tweaked a bit since 'legal
name' seems like it should be well defined, but actually isn't
as well defined universally as on might think.

github: Update with better guidance on what's acceptable for src

Tighten and clarify the submission requirements:
* No AI submissions
* No trivial submissions: pull requests have to solve a real problem
* We may timeout requests after a month
* FreeBSD committers (all repos) are responible for merging their
commits to the appropriate repo. github can be used to seek approval
for such commits (eg a ports committer wants to make a src change).
* Wordsmith a few things to make them clearer to people new to our
jargon.
* Not all psuedonyms are created equal, and we may disallow a PR
based on that.
