Closes #2206

This focuses on providing a detailed developer guide which covers adding, deprecating and removal of gems including the steps needed.

A couple of thoughts:

  • Do we actually need both instrumentation/CONTRIBUTING.md and the main CONTRIBUTING.md?
    It might make sense to merge them into a single document and include a table of contents for easier navigation. (example)
  • Similarly, README.md and datadog-porting-guide.md seem to overlap in purpose. Maybe they could be consolidated or reorganized into a more unified structure.

I agree about merging the contributing guides but would rather treat them separately to avoid making this PR too big.

In relation to dd migration guide, I am inclined to leave it as is as I suspect it would not often be read. I will think if it can be better incorporated.
