This seems to be a duplicated AI created PR ( #54556 ). @Pavan-249 can you keep all of the changes in one PR? Also as @dongjoon-hyun points out this does seem duplicated, maybe just a link to the other contributing guide is the way to go. |

What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR adds a short welcome section at the top of CONTRIBUTING.md to help new contributors quickly find key resources such as:
The contributing guide
Build instructions

No
