There's a script to automate fetching submodule changes. However, this
script alays fetches remote master branch, which's not always the case.
For example, for branch-5.0/next-5.0 pair the correct scylla-seastar
branch would be the branch-5.0 one, not master.
With this change updating a submodule from a custom branch would be like
refresh-submodules.sh <submodule>:<branch>

The pull_github_pr.sh script is preferred over colorful github
buttons, because it's designed to always assign proper authors.
It also works for both single- and multi-patch series, which
makes the merging process more universal.

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 The decisions that github pull requests are forbidden was retracted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.
