Resolve "Add in Contributing.md that only compilation fixes are allowed in develop branch"

Closes #1550 (closed)

This is a proposition to limit the commits pushed directly on develop (restricted to COMP commits when the Dashboard is broken).

Feel free to give your opinion on this proposition. If we don't have a consensus, I will propose a different version.

• 510509dc - DOC: alternative proposal for broken dashboard fixes

Compare with previous version

I made an alternative proposal since the original one doesn't have a real consensus among OTB developers. This one should allow:

• a review on every commit
• quick merges when needed

I made a minor edit to describe what is the dashboard which was not introduce before in the document.

Also note that I do not think that we are going to protect the develop branch from pushes.

So if one day, you are the last survivor of otb developers, and you need to fix a broken dashboard in a day so as to prevent total anihilation of the known world, you will still be able to do it ;)

Just remember that it is not something we should do in our normal workflow.

So if we all agree, I propose we merge this branch without dashboard testing!
