Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Linguist detects languages, study existing language definitions in the lib/linguist/languages.yml file, and add an entry for X++ with appropriate heuristics (e.g., filename patterns, first line patterns, or custom detector). Consider using the X++ extension .xpp and common keywords.
