hablich 8d77f788e7 [Docs] Add information on how to contribute to the README

I noticed after reading a few GitHub comments that the information
about contributing to V8 is hard to find. I think it makes sense
to add this information to the README.

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
