Commit Message

docs(contributing): name development as the trunk, not master

CONTRIBUTING.md said "`master` is always the most recent state of the code, and
pull requests are opened against it". That stopped being true on 2026-09-07,
when master was rewound to the initial commit and development became the trunk
— so the file was telling contributors to open pull requests against a branch
with none of the project's history in it, and to treat the rewound branch as
the state of the code.

GitHub's default branch is still master, which is the part that bites: `gh pr
create` targets it unless --base development is passed. That is now said
explicitly rather than left to be discovered.

Found while editing the docs-mapping table three lines below, on the
MAPCO-11496 branch; moved here because it is its own piece of work.
