Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the type inference for implode() in Psalm's source code, focusing on how the return type is determined from the separator and array arguments. Look at the existing test cases for implode and add a test that demonstrates the expected non falsy string result when the separator is a non falsy string and the array has at least two elements.
