Description
Migrate the information from https://github.com/winglang/wing/blob/main/libs/wingc/CONTRIBUTING.md into the root CONTRIBUTING.md so that all of the information is in one place for contributors. Some possible questions:
- How do I build the compiler?
- How do I update snapshot tests?
- How do I profile the compiler? (cc @3p3r)

Research direction
Read libs/wingc/CONTRIBUTING.md and compare it with the root CONTRIBUTING.md. Consolidate the compiler contributor information, including build, snapshot-test, and profiling guidance, in the root guide. Done means contributors can find all of this information in one place.
