Add new, small "Testing" section to CONTRIBUTING.rst

"Drive-through" contributor here. As in many other projects, one of the
most time-consuming step before starting to do any actual work is
finding in my bash history (!) the right tox/pytest/test_foo.sh
incantation. No surprise maintainers have to beg for test(s) all the
time ;-P

+=======

+diffoscope's test suite relies on `pytest <https://docs.pytest.org/>`__;
+to run all tests use ``pytest[-3]``. For faster interactive development
+here's an example of how to run a (much) smaller subset of tests:

+More options in `pytest -h`.
