Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing analyzers in OpenGrok (e.g., for other languages) and create a new Analyzer class for Forth that defines token types (keywords, identifiers, strings, comments) based on the Forth language specification. Then register the analyzer in the appropriate configuration file.
