Add instructions to install from source
Summary of the Pull Request
What is this about:
Add instructions to install from source.
Description:
This adds a section to the contributing guidelines explaining the steps to build and install from source rather than from the published releases.
Earlier today, I was having trouble getting the newest release to install. I figured I would try to install from source. It took a few minutes to figure it out, but thankfully the project is set up to install itself in a sane way. 😃
However, I figured it would be useful for others to know how to do this since, ostensibly, many users have a working dotnet installation that can build the project and may want to contribute.

@tymokvo hi) better to update https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup/blob/dev/Contributing.md instead of Readme) Readme is more suitable for users, not for developers
Ok, moved to Contributing.md. Had to revert some accidental markdown auto-formatting on the way.
Added more instructions, expanded documentation about building, structuring, and creating MSI files
