Improve contribution guide

[carsten-j]

It is not easy for newcomers (or at least not for me) to get pymc-experimental up and running locally. The repo contains 3 requirements files and 2 conda env files.

It would be great with a description of the scenarios in which these different files are supposed to be used.

It would also be a help if there were more info about formatting, linting rules etc.

Did you consider adding a devcontainer.json file etc such that you can run this in a Docker container?

I am happy to help out with this one if someone will guide me.

@carsten-j Better instructions and a Docker container (separately) would be great contributions!

@twiecki I would like to help but I need input to do so. I do not have the time to do a complete re-engineering of all the conda env files, requirements, github workflows etc. But I am happy to drive the initiative if someone with experience will point me in the right direction.

@carsten-j Can you write up just instructions that would have helped you?

[carsten-j]

I can try that as a start!
