Summary

Improve the Getting Started section by adding a short note for first-time contributors.

Impact

Documentation only. No functional or build changes.

Testing

  • Built Apache NuttX simulator locally on Ubuntu 26.04 (WSL2).
  • Configuration used: sim:nsh.
  • Verified successful build with make -j$(nproc).
  • Ran the simulator using ./nuttx.
  • Verified shell operation with:
    • help
    • uname -a
    • hello (output: Hello, World!!)

I don't think this info belongs on getting started of the README, but on contribution page.
