Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how iced creates its window and whether window hints or properties (like `WS EX APPWINDOW` on Windows) can be set to prevent Nvidia Shadowplay from treating it as a game. Look into the winit or raw window handle interaction and check for known issues with overlay detection.
