Split a community page out of the contributor docs

We need a simple "how to reach out to us" page that is not mixed with
code contribution guide. This change adds it by moving information
around and polishing it a bit.

things are:
* the contents of the node in question (use ``baremetal node show <uuid>``)
* debug logging related to the event, ideally with logs from the ramdisk
* versions of ironic, ironic-python-agent, and any other coupled components.

worth of system logs to find the problems, we expect your collaboration.

Asking Questions
================
There are two many venues where all discussions happen: IRC and mailing lists.
Internet Relay Chat 'IRC'
-------------------------
Daily contributor discussions take place on IRC in the ``#openstack-ironic``
channel on the OFTC IRC network. Please feel free to connect to
``ircs://irc.oftc.net:6697`` and join our channel!
Note that while we have community members from everywhere in the world, we're
the most active from roughly 6am to 12am. If you don't get an answer to your
question, try the `Mailing list`_.
Additional information on getting connected can be found in the
`OpenStack community contribution guide <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/irc.html>`_.
Mailing list
------------
We use the *openstack-discuss* mailing list for asynchronous communications and
longer discussions. Navigate to
http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-discuss
to subscribe or view the archives.
When sending a message please prefix the *Subject* line with ``[ironic]`` so
that we don't miss it.
Reporting Bugs
==============
LaunchPad
---------
Most of the tools used for OpenStack require a Launchpad_ ID for
authentication. Ironic previously used to track work on Launchpad,
but we have not done so since migrating to Storyboard_.
.. _Launchpad: https://launchpad.net
Storyboard
----------
The ironic project moved from Launchpad to `StoryBoard
<https://storyboard.openstack.org/>`_ for work and task tracking.
This provides an aggregate view called a "Project Group"
and individual "Projects". A good starting place is the
`project group <https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project_group/ironic>`_
representing the whole of the ironic community, as opposed to
the `ironic project <https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/943>`_
storyboard which represents ironic as a repository.

Bug Reporting
=============
Bugs can reported via our Task and Bug tracking tool Storyboard.
When filing bugs, please include as much detail as possible, and don't be shy.
Essential pieces of information are generally:
* Contents of the 'node' - `baremetal node show <uuid>`
* Steps to reproduce the issue.
* Exceptions and surrounding lines from the logs.
* Versions of ironic, ironic-python-agent, and any other coupled components.
Please also set your expectations of what *should* be happening.
Statements of user expectations are how we understand what is occuring and
how we learn new use cases!
