Rework the navigation in the contributor guide
The goal here is to give newcomers an easier overview of the contributor
guide. Currently, the index page only points at a couple of sections in
the contributor index, which may be confusing. So:

1) Expand the contributor reference from the index page one more level.
2) Update headings in the contributor guide to match the toctrees and
   their expected level.
3) Expand toctrees in the contributor index one more level.
4) Move references to the development enviroment to a higher level
   toctree to make them visible in the index.
5) Apply consistent upper case heading.

Bifrost Development Environment

Bifrost is a project that deploys and operates Ironic using ansible. It is generally used standalone, without many other services running alongside. This makes it a good choice for a quick development environment for Ironic features that may not interact with other OpenStack services, even if you aren't developing against bifrost directly

Bifrost maintains it's own documentation on building a test environment with bifrost.

The testenv provided is ideal for quickly testing API changes in Ironic or features for client libraries. It is not the best choice for changes that interact with one or more OpenStack services or which require tempest testing.
