Add extra information for First Time Contributors

Niku Singh requested to merge gitlab-community/gitlab:update_docs into master

What does this MR do and why?

( This is a Draft MR, not the final one, and would require help and a lot of refactoring) Updated Update first_contribution.md

  • In the prerequisite added a Discord link ( as I thought it is necessary and must be placed above )
  • Added System requirements section as many folks would not have the necessary resources to run GDK in that case we can redirect them to Gitpod
  • Added Contribute with Gitpod subsection in Step 1: Configure the GitLab Development Kit as it is necessary
    • What if the contributor is facing lots of errors in setting up GDK, as it takes a lot of time, we cannot lose the new contributor so in order to make the contribution fast I think this section is needed and should be descriptive.
    • Added a Step: 5 to this tutorial as the tutorial was unclear about the next steps and was leaving the contributor hanging
