EDK II Contributions.txt: Note acceptable contribution licenses

We strongly prefer that contribtions be offered using the same license
as the project/module. But, we should document other acceptable
licenses for contributions.

This will allow package owners to more easily know if they can accept
a contribution under a different source license.

NOTE: This does not modify the wording of the "TianoCore Contribution
      Agreement 1.0" section

Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.0
