Update community onboarding documentation (#1173) * Update community onboarding documentation The Contributor onboarding section referenced a personal blog post from ~6 years ago for "how to debug IoTDB server", which no longer matches the current codebase (reported in discussion #17575). Replace it with the maintained README and Development Guide, and restructure the section into a clear path: set up accounts -> get the code running -> understand the design -> pick a task. Also fix the WeChat official account name in the Chinese channel page (it was outdated) and remove the discontinued DingTalk group entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Emphasize mailing list and tidy onboarding links Make the developer mailing list the primary entry point for new contributors instead of leading with Jira/Confluence accounts. For finding tasks, list GitHub Issues before Jira. Replace the Confluence design-doc pointer with guidance to read the source together with the README, since the Confluence space is no longer actively maintained. Also convert the "download and installation" link from a relative path to the official website URL, consistent with the other links in the section.
