To support a healthy, welcoming Open Source Community, it makes sense to add a CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, even though it looks like this project has not been active for some years.

why make this change?:
Facebook Open Source provides a Code of Conduct statement for all
projects to follow, to promote a welcoming and safe open source community.

Exposing the COC via a separate markdown file is a standard being
promoted by Github via the Community Profile in order to meet their Open
Source Guide's recommended community standards.

As you can see, adding this file will improve the Open Graph Protocol community profile
checklist and increase the visibility of our COC.

Adding instructions for first time contributors fosters a healthy, welcoming Open Source Community. Even though this project does not seem very active, adding this document supports the Facebook Open Source Community as a whole.

This links to a Code of Conduct - a follow up commit will add that document.
In the past Facebook didn't promote including a Code of Conduct when creating new projects, and many projects skipped this important document. Let's fix it. Even for this project, which does not seem super active, it can be useful to have a Code of Conduct. :)

The `README.md` is pretty sparse, so thought it made sense to link to `CONTRIBUTING.md` here.
