Corrected spelling mistakes, typos, and minor wording issues to improve
the developer documentation.
No backport: There is no functional change, and the doc is mostly
relevant to master, so it doesn't need to be backported.
Closesscylladb/scylladb#26332
As far as I can tell, we never documented requirement for self-contained
headers in our coding style. So let's do it now, and explain the
"ninja dev-headers" command and how to use it.

Start improving CONTRIBUTING.md, as suggested in issue #8037:
1. Incorporate the few lines we had in coding-style.md into CONTRIBUTING.md.
This was mostly a pointer to Seastar's coding style anyway, so it's not
helpful to have a separate file which hopeful developers will not find
anyway.
2. Mention the Scylla developers mailing list, not just the Scylla users
mailing list. The Scylla developers mailing list is where all the action
happens, and it's very odd not to mention it.
3. The decisions that github pull requests are forbidden was retracted
a long time ago, so change the explanation on pull requests.
4. Some smaller phrasing changes.
Refs #8037.
