misc: Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to discuss branches

There are some circumstances in which branches may be beneficial.
Though, in general, they should be discouraged. Therefore,
CONTRIBUTING.md has been enhanced to outline under what circumstances
creation of new branches is allowed and how they may be created and
used.
