The main reason for that change is that there is a link to it from
the README.md file, so distributing CONTRIBUTING.md avoids having
a dead link in the distributed README.md.
In this case, the linker optimizes out Debugger which get required
later by Engine due to @dreammaster rework. Building with all engines
prevents optimization because several engines subclass Debugger and they
are included before gui.a in linker command line
Due to a quirk of target specific make variables which means they
are added to all pre-requisities, this resulted in the defines which
were meant to be applied only to the version module being applied to
most of the codebase.
This did not cause any direct issues, but was untidy and unexpected
behaviour which was reported in Pull Request 1946 by janisozaur.
Fix it by defining a special rule for version.o with own flags
instead of using template rule.

There was already a configure option to specify a output format other
than plain text, but this had to be specified explicitely when
executing configure. Now the ports can define a default other than
plain text.
On macOS now by default pandoc generate html output. It could
in theory also generate rtf, but those are not properly displayed
by TextEdit, and in addition TextEdit cannot handle link internal
to the document (such as for the TOC). But if we are fine with
no link for the TOC, we could pipe the pandoc html output with
textutil to generate the RTF documents.
Also this change allows to have an extension for the pandoc output
files. By default this is empty for plain text (as before) and
the same as the format otherwise (for example .rtf or .html).
This should improve linker time as well as reduce the size of the
built binaries (though this does not affect runtime memory usage
since the debug segments are not loaded into memory except by a
debugger) whilst still giving debug information.
Both the data used to generate the archive and the archive itself
were moved to dists/ instead of being in backends/.
The script was also improved to optionally take a path as a command
line argument to indicate where the wwwroot data are instead of
assuming they are in the working directory.
Finally a 'wwwroot' make target was also added to invoke the python script and generate the archive.
