This patch joins two very much related pieces of docs together in a
single file dedicated to all sorts of contributing info.
Some more changes:
- Branches info copied from the current master branch
- LXR and bonsai info removed
- Duplicated info reduced a bit
- Security branch updated to 7.1
- Refactor intro for Git commit rules
- Updated README.GIT-RULES file usage in win32/build/confutils.js
- Refactored configure.ac
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

Since there is no need to patch libsqlite3 for our purposes, and since
libsqlite3 ≥ 3.3.9 (which is our current requirement) is widely
available on distros, there is no reason anymore to bundle the library.
Besides removing the bundled libsqlite, and adapting the configuration
respectively, we also fix the use of the SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA
compile time constant to detect whether sqlite3_column_table_name() is
available by a working feature detection (otherwise bug_42589.phpt
would fail). We also skip bug73068.phpt for libsqlite 3.11.0 to
3.14.1 which have a bug (<https://sqlite.org/src/info/ef360601>).
We also completely drop support for the obscure pdo_sqlite_external
extension (which could have been enabled on Windows only by passing
`--pdo-sqlite-external` to configure), since it is not needed anymore.
Furthermore, we remove references to the bundled libsqlite from
Makefile.gcov, CONTRIBUTING.md and README.REDIST.BINS.
When the PHP source code was versioned in Subversion, there was
possible to substitute certain keywords such as $Id$ with revision
number, last change time and author name. Such approach is not used
in Git so this patch removes these outdated artifacts from source
code files.
