The main README.md should probably be kept pretty short and be used to
point new-comers to the most essential ways to get started on or get
involved with LLVM.
Therefore, this patch removes a pointer to IRC (not used very much these
days), and does add pointers to office hours and online sync-ups.
Funnel fetching and building LLVM instructions into GettingStarted.
Modernize the build steps a little.
Remove comments saying CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE defaults to Debug as that's not true anymore (must explicitly pass it).

We are moving away from building the runtimes with LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS,
however the documentation was largely outdated. This commit updates all
the documentation I could find to use LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES instead of
LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS for building runtimes.
Note that in the near future, libcxx, libcxxabi and libunwind will stop
supporting being built with LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS altogether. I don't know
what the plans are for other runtimes like libc, openmp and compiler-rt,
so I didn't make any changes to the documentation that would imply
something for those projects.
Once this lands, I will also cherry-pick this on the release/14.x branch
to make sure that LLVM's documentation is up-to-date and reflects what
we intend to support in the future.

The updated list is based on the output of
cmake -G Ninja -S llvm -B build -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='foo'.

As discussed on llvm-dev [1], this patch adds a brief CONTRIBUTING.md to
the top-level of the repo, with a pointer to Contributing.html. This
should make it easier to discover the contributing information and also
be highlighted in the Github UI.
It also updates README.md to link to Contributing.html.

As GitHub is the canonical LLVM repository now, embrace GitHub's way of displaying basic build instructions in the top-level readme.md.
