Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the existing debugging page (currently empty) and other documentation pages in the StarlingMonkey repo to understand the format and style. Then research common debugging techniques for StarlingMonkey applications under various runtimes (e.g., using debug logs, inspect tool in browsers, or debugging infrastructure in web assembly runtimes). Write a step by step guide on how to set up and use debugging tools, including code snippets and command examples.
