- Remove trailing white space
- Streamline documentation of test tags
- Do not reference obsolete tags
- Document `features` frontmatter tag
- Document `es6id` frontmatter tag
- Omit unnecessary detail about test262 website generation. This is not
  directly useful to potential test contributors. Implementation details
  like these can be taken for granted by that audience.
- Remove documentation on YAML syntax. Details on YAML may be helpful
  for some new contributors, but this document should not attempt to
  cover the topic (especially not from the description of a specific
  frontmatter entry). Replace with a link to a more comprehensive source
  as this will be more generally useful to those who need it (and less
  obtrusive for those who do not).
- Consolidate information on test helpers
- Document `assert` helpers
- Update instructions for asserting errors. Since the introduction of
  `assert.throws` in gh-22, the preferred means of expressing
  expectations regarding errors has changed. Update the CONTRIBUTING.md
  file to reflect the latest approach. Explain purpose of `throw
  NotEarlyError;` in example test.
- Re-order information on file names. The inconsistency in the project's
  file names should not go unmentioned, but neither should it not
  preceed instructions for the accepted approach to namine tests.
- More clearly document required frontmatter tags. Explicitly list
  `description` as a required frontmatter tag, implicitly identifying
  all other tags as optional.
