Drop requirement for CLA in contribution.md

Browse source 
It is no longer necessary for contributors to send a CLA to ARM
before making contributions. Contributors must instead add a
"Signed-off-by:" line to each commit, which certifies that the
contribution is made under the Developer Certificate of Origin
(DCO).

Update contributing.md to reflect this new policy and add a copy of
the DCO to the repository.

Contributing to ARM Trusted Firmware
====================================
Before you start contributing to this project you must sign the ARM
Contributor License Agreement (CLA).
Individuals who want to contribute their own work must sign and return an
Individual CLA. Companies that want to contribute must sign and return a
Corporate CLA if their employees' intellectual property has been assigned to
the employer. Copies of the CLAs are available from the [contributing page] of
the ARM website. Please wait for ARM to confirm acceptance of your CLA before
making contributions.
For this project, ARM also requires the GitHub account name(s) associated with
each individual contributor or the designated employees of corporate
contributors. Only contributions originating from these accounts will be
considered covered by the CLA. To avoid delay, you should provide the Github
account name(s) at the same time as the signed CLA.
ARM reserves the right to not accept a contribution. This may be for technical,
commercial or legal reasons.
