### 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.
