First commits

• Check out this short and simple guide on how to get started: How to contribute into Rally. Though it is for Rally, it is still applied to any other OpenStack project, including Fuel.
• How_To_Contribute page covers many more details, including bug fixes, etc. - and that's can be simply applied to Fuel related components.
