If people do that, it clutters the place up with branches which are not
deleted-on-merge by default. Better to use their own forks.
And the people who are in a position to be able to push directly to
`origin` are not going to be reading the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file, so this
paragraph is noise to most readers anyway.

GLib can’t grow forever, so we should really only be accepting APIs
which are useful across a variety of projects and which couldn’t easily
live in a separate library.

Point strongly towards `SECURITY.md` so we are not maintaining security
instructions in multiple places.

The GitLab instance has been moved around, so the SSH clone URI for
repositories has changed. Change that in `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and also
change to using a relative path in `.gitmodules` to insulate from
similar URI changes in future.
Changing to a relative path in `.gitmodules` also enables the CI to use
submodules more easily: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/git_submodules.html

This documents our existing testing best practices, and tries to explain
some of the rationale around them.
There’s some new policy around performance tests, specifying that they
are good to keep around if they are high quality (so they can be used
again, the effort put into them not thrown away, and the numbers
compared over time) and that they should be runnable automatically to
avoid bitrot.
Everything else just documents existing practice.

It’s a more inclusive name, has the same tab-completion prefix, and is
the default choice for new repositories created locally by git, and on
GitHub and GitLab.

Fixes: #2348
They’re out of date. Probably best to leave the document unsigned, since
it’s supposed to be endorsed by all the GLib maintainers.
