Summary

The Contributor Introduction lists in the next steps the Contributing Code page;
in its turn, the Contributing Code page links back to the Contributor Introduction page.

This change fixes that infinite loop by adding an actual path forward, adding a link to the Developer Setup page in the Next Steps section of the Contributing Code page.

Test Plan

Open the /book/contrib/article/contributing_code/ URL and confirm that the Developer Setup is included in the Next Steps section.

What do you think of the phrasing “getting started with Developer Setup”?

No objection to the general idea, but I'd rather make it more explicit that it's about getting started with development specifically, to disambiguate with the "Contributor Introduction" page linked immediately after.

How about "preparing your development environment as described in the Developer Setup"?

A little long but I’m fine with either option

I can't think of anything better, so I'll proceed with this one. Happy to make changes if anyone comes up with a better idea though :)
