Update CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions to format markdown files (#14246)

<!--
Thank you for contributing to uv! To help us out with reviewing, please
consider the following:

- Does this pull request include a summary of the change? (See below.)
- Does this pull request include a descriptive title?
- Does this pull request include references to any relevant issues?
-->

## Summary

Current documentation requires contributors to have Node.js/npm
installed locally to format Markdown files. This might be problematic
for users who don't work with JavaScript ecosystem or users who want to
avoid toolchain setup.

This change adds docker-based alternative:

```
docker run --rm -v .:/src/ -w /src/ node:alpine npx prettier --prose-wrap always --write "**/*.md"
```

Which mounts current working directory into /src/ inside of a container
and also sets working directory (-w) to /src/ so prettier loads
.editorconfig.

<!-- What's the purpose of the change? What does it do, and why? -->

## Test Plan

Both commands should produce the same output

Note that the command above requires Node.js and npm to be installed on your system. As an
alternative, you can run this command using Docker:
```console
$ docker run --rm -v .:/src/ -w /src/ node:alpine npx prettier --prose-wrap always --write "**/*.md"
