The current content in CONTRIBUTING.md is largely based on the "Patch Submission Process" Wiki page. This commit also moves the DCO from the Wiki into the source tree. In addition, clarify in README.md that contributions need to be licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and signed with the DCO.

JerryScript Developer's Certificate of Origin
The JerryScript project uses the signed-off-by language and process to give us a clear chain of trust for every patch received.
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project, under the same open source license.
We have the same requirements for using the signed-off-by process as the Linux kernel. In short, you need to include a signed-off-by tag in the commit message of every patch.
You should use your real name and email address in the format below:
JerryScript-DCO-1.0-Signed-off-by: Random J Developer random@developer.example.org
"JerryScript-DCO-1.0-Signed-off-by:" this is a developer's certification that he or she has the right to submit the patch for inclusion into the project. It is an agreement to the Developer's Certificate of Origin (above). Code without a proper signoff cannot be merged into the mainline.
