website: move contrib.md in history, rename git.md to contribute.md.

The page name aren't directly meaningful. In contrib.md for instance I
would expect to find how to contribute. In git.md instead I would
expect to find how to download GNU Boot but not how to contribute.

Since the authors page isn't meaningful anymore for GNU Boot as it has
different priorities than Libreboot at the time where it was fully
free, and also because GNU Boot also wants to put forward smaller
contributions, especially contributions that aren't recorded in git.

As the GNU Boot project doesn't have the same community or dynamics
than the Libreboot project had, the gaps it has are different. So we
also try to put forward contributions that fills these gaps.

However since this page is very important historically, so we need to
keep it not to forget about it. So to fix that we added GNU Boot's
point of view and moved it in the history section.

retroboot, and we don't have any documentation on their precise
