This PR introduces a basic structure for a Contributor Setup Guide to the repository, addressing the need for better onboarding documentation for new contributors. (fixes #824)

The file includes placeholders (TBD) where additional information is required from maintainers or other team members.

The guide covers the following sections:

1. Introduction

-Welcome message to contributors.
-Encouragement to join the community and contribute to the repository.

2. Pre-requisites

-Tools and dependencies required to work with the repository

3. Local Run/Build

-Placeholder for steps on setting up and running the project locally.
-Commands for building and starting the application (TBD).

4. Testing

-Placeholder for details on running the test suite and interpreting results.
-Placeholder for types of tests (e.g., unit, integration) and testing frameworks used (TBD).

5. Further Help

-Communication platforms (Slack, forums, etc.) and documentation references (TBD).

Motivation:

The absence of a setup guide makes it difficult for contributors to onboard effectively. This PR sets the groundwork for a comprehensive guide, enabling maintainers to contribute essential details. Once complete, this document will serve as a critical resource for future contributors following a consistent pattern across other OTel repos.
