CONTRIBUTING.md added (needs some adjustments to the project's processes)

[devactivity-team]

Acquisition of the new contributors to help with the project's challenges would be more efficient with clear contribution policy.

Changes Made:

1. CONTRIBUTION.md Added template generated with this tool.
   It still needs some work on it to adjust for the project.

2. Shields: Added Shields.io badges at the top of the CONTRIBUTION.md
