Mitchell Cash a4ba66e1a6 Update contributing doc to better handle first run dpendency requirements (#1645)
The command `yarn start` is dependent on the `npm-run-all` package, therefore we can't recommend this as the first command someone runs after they just clone the repository in case they don't have it globally installed. Trying to `yarn start` without this package gets:

```
/bin/sh: run-s: command not found
error Command failed with exit code 127.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.
```

Therefore, on first setup it is recommended to run `yarn bootstrap` as the first command.
