### Description
This PR updates `CONTRIBUTING.md` to address unclear guidelines regarding 
commit history and branching, as raised in #6592.

**Specific changes:**
* **Branching:** Added explicit advice in the "How to Contribute" 
section to create a feature branch and avoid working directly on `master`.
* **Commit History:** Moved the guidance on avoiding "fixup" commits 
from the "Large Pull Requests" tip to the main "Pull 
Requests" body. This clarifies that a clean commit history is expected for 
all contributions, not just large ones.

Fixes #6592

### How has this been tested?
This is a documentation-only change.
* I verified that the Markdown syntax renders correctly.
