PATCH 1/1 website: some limited updates

These two patches make two updates to the buildroot website:
- update contribute page
- remove references to uclibc.org

Note: it seems that lists.buildroot.org forwards to bugs.busybox.net instead of staying at lists, which makes the list URL unchangeable, currently.

PATCH 1/1 website: rework Contribute page to avoid duplication with manual

The manual contains details about how users can contribute to buildroot. The website also had such a list, but with much less detail and not containing all topics.
In order to avoid duplicating this information, simply list the different topics without detail on the website, and add a link to the relevent chapter of the manual.

Note: the current manual does not have the updated info. At this instant the info is still on the git version of the manual:
http://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#_contributing_to_buildroot
When the 2014.05 release is made, the manual will be updated and all will be well.

PATCH 1/1 website: remove remaining references to uclibc.org

In reply to Thomas De Schampheleire

The website still used some uclibc.org URLs which can now use buildroot.org.
