MyFirstContribution: add avenues for getting help
With https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191114194708.GD60198@google.com/ we
now have a mentoring mailing list, to which we should direct new
contributors who have questions.
Mention #git-devel, which is targeted for Git contributors; asking for
help with getting a first contribution together is on-topic for that
channel. Also mention some of the conventions in case folks are
unfamiliar with IRC.
Because the mentoring list and #git-devel are both a subset of Git
contributors, finally list the main Git list and mention some of the
posting conventions.
