Code Review

This pull request correctly updates the link to the newcomers guide in CONTRIBUTING.md, replacing an old Google Docs link with a new one on layer5.io. The change is applied consistently in both places the link appears. I've added one suggestion to use Markdown's reference-style links. This would improve the document's maintainability by defining the link in a single place, making future updates easier.

@CodexRaunak I'm thinking if you can put meshery.io newcomers links here instead of layer5 because this repo under meshery org
