Updated Instructions for img Tag Markup Style in HfLA Contributing Guide (CONTRIBUTING.md)

[abinetabate1]

Fixes #7797

What changes did you make?

• The markdown template for pull requests displayed in the "How to Contribute to Hack for LA" wiki (contributing.md) instructed users to use self-closing style HTML5 IMG tags (i.e. ) for large images. With this change the template included within the guide will instruct users to use standard HTML5 IMG tag (i.e. ).

Why did you make the changes (we will use this info to test)?

• To have a consistent codebase for img HTML tags.
