Adds the first version-specific guide (Running Mendix 7 in Docker) under docs/, linked from a new README Guides section, plus a top-level CONTRIBUTING.md (so GitHub surfaces contribution guidelines in the PR/issue UI).

  • The guide covers the legacy-MX7 pain points: Java 8, the model-default-constants gotcha (start.sh auto-supplies them), the harmless HttpHeaders warning, and the runtimelauncher + m2ee boot path — verified against MoneyWorksPortal 7.23.8.
  • CONTRIBUTING restates the one hard rule (no Mendix binaries) + the new-version recipe.
  • Recipe-only contract intact: the no-mendix-binaries guard passes locally (39 files checked).

Add a version-specific walkthrough for booting a legacy Mendix 7.23 app
via the mendix-7 crate (the model-default-constants gotcha, m2ee boot,
cf-buildpack comparison) and link it from the README. Add a top-level
CONTRIBUTING.md restating the no-Mendix-binary rule + the new-version
recipe so GitHub surfaces it in the PR/issue UI.
