doc: CONTRIBUTE: tell people reviewing *is* contributing
We are "a bit" struggling with reviewing things and it's most of the time maintainers or long time contributors reviewing patches on the mailing list. Hint that reviewing is also contributing to the project and that even if you don't feel you're an expert, your review is still welcome and can help us catch bugs before they are merged.

open-source projects, the U-Boot project suffers from a lack of reviewers.
