docs: remove internal Slack link from CONTRIBUTING.md [DOCS-684] (#28320)

The `codercom.slack.com` link in CONTRIBUTING.md returns a 403 for the
docs link checker (Slack archive URLs require authentication, so it can
never pass) and advertises an internal Slack channel in a public
contributor doc. The `pr-deploy.yaml` workflow already treats the
channel URL as a secret, so the doc now refers to the channel by name
only.

While in the file, this also fixes a few formatting issues: emdashes
used as punctuation in the dev server list and the backport conflict
note, sample `nix-shell` output where hard-wrapping had garbled the
`cache.nixos.org` URLs, and a misindented closing code fence in the
"Verify Your Session" step.
