documentation: remove reference to the building page on the Subsurface website

Removed the reference and link to the building page on the subsurface website
(https://subsurface-divelog.org/building) from CONTRIBUTIONG.md. This page no
longer exists and gives a 404 error. I have looked for suitable alternate
build/contributing instructions on the website and on github and can't find
anything so i think best to just remove the broken link for the time being. If
more comprehensive instructions exist in the future this will be simple to add
back in.

When sending code, please either send signed-off patches or a pull request with signed-off commits. If you don't sign off on them, we will not accept them. This means adding a line that says "Signed-off-by: Name \<Email\>" at the end of each commit, indicating that you wrote the code and have the right to pass it on as an open source patch.

The preferred way to write a commit message is using imperative mood, e.g. "Make foo do xyz" instead of "This patch makes foo do xyz" or "I made foo do xyz", as if you are giving commands or requests to the code base.
