[DOCS] remove docs folder - add build instructions (#3387)

* Move 'CONTRIBUTING.md' file from 'docs' folder to '.github' folder

More info: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors#about-contributing-guidelines

* Remove 'docs' Folder as it became obsolete

The contents of this folder have been moved to the Docs Repo (link: https://github.com/Chris-Titus-Docs/winutil-docs) and slightly modified to work nicely with the Web Technology used, which's Hugo the Static Site Generator written in Go Programming Language

* Add Build Instructions in 'README.md'

* Add note to redirect new users to the Docs Repo

* Link the main image of README from docs repo

Thanks @NotYourAverageGamer !

This utility is a compilation of Windows tasks I perform on each Windows system I use. It is meant to streamline *installs*, debloat with *tweaks*, troubleshoot with *config*, and fix Windows *updates*. I am extremely picky about any contributions to keep this project clean and efficient.

## 🛠️ Build & Develop
> [!NOTE]
> Winutil is a relatively large script, so it's split into multiple files which're combined into a single `.ps1` file using a custom compiler. This makes maintaining the project a lot easiler.
Get a copy of the source code, this can be done using GitHub UI (`Code -> Download ZIP`), or by cloning (downloading) the repo using git.
If git is installed, run the following commands under a PowerShell window to clone and move into project's directory:
```ps1
git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil.git"
cd winutil
```
To build the project, run the Compile Script under a PowerShell window (admin permissions IS NOT required):
```ps1
.\Compile.ps1
```
You'll see a new file named `winutil.ps1`, which's created by `Compile.ps1` script, now you can run it as admin and a new window will popup, enjoy your own compiled version of WinUtil :)
