Mohd Sahil 4fd4813ed9 docs: correct contributor licence to AGPL-3.0 in CONTRIBUTING.md
CONTRIBUTING.md stated that contributions are licensed under the MIT
License and linked to ./LICENSE, but the project ships LICENSE.md
containing the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, and both the
README and recordly.dev state AGPL-3.0.

Point the section at the licence the project actually uses and fix the
link target, which was broken (LICENSE vs LICENSE.md).
