Contributor update

[theofficialgman]

@Botspot this is by no means final. I have created this PR so we can start to discuss the exact wording and the presentation of the information that we discussed in #dev-chat on the discord. The wording can (and likely should) fully change and was kept brief so as to not waste my time on something that we didn't agree on.

[theofficialgman]

For this I want to make a dedicated webpage for "new contributors" to link to that goes over the things we discussed in the discord, attempting to welcome users into the "family" of pi-apps contributors.

Current generate_splashscreen output

Particular placement of icons and text is not necessarily final but this is the idea I had in mind.

here is equivalent C code (which is GTK's native language, everything else is a wrapper ontop of the C library) if we don't want to use python (it could be precompiled or compiled in a runonce)

#include <glib.h>

I am disappointed with the amount of time it has taken me to work on the adopt-a-developer pilot project. I wanted to see how that goes first, as if successful it would affect how users are prompted to contribute in this PR.
@theofficialgman I believe you can access the hidden discord channel. Let me know if not.
