Subject: [PATCH] Feature: Add screencast link to README to giving overview for
 contributors (#4090)

<!-- Thank you for taking the time to contribute to The Odin Project. In
order to get this pull request (PR) merged in a reasonable amount of
time, you must complete this entire template. -->

## Because
<!-- Summarize the purpose or reasons for this PR, e.g. what problem it
solves or what benefit it provides. -->

This PR adds an interactive screencast to the README that gives a
general overview of the contributing guide to new collaborators. It
helps people who may be new to contributing to this or any other repo
get a sense of the code base and how to get it running locally. I used a
new Scrimba feature that lets one make a video screencast with all the
assets of a github repo.

## This PR
<!-- A bullet point list of one or more items describing the specific
changes. -->

- Added link to interactive screencast (scrim) to __README__ in the
__Contributing__ section

## Issue
<!--
If this PR closes an open issue in this repo, replace the XXXXX below
with the issue number, e.g. Closes #2013.

If this PR closes an open issue in another TOP repo, replace the #XXXXX
with the URL of the issue, e.g. Closes
https://github.com/TheOdinProject/curriculum/issues/XXXXX

If this PR does not close, but is related to another issue or PR, you
can link it as above without the 'Closes' keyword, e.g. 'Related to
#2013'.
-->
Related to #3470

## Additional Information
<!-- Any other information about this PR, such as a link to a Discord
discussion. -->

Here is a link to the screencast (scrim):
https://scrimba.com/scrim/cEggQncE
I can also turn this into an image that links to the scrim video instead
of text if you prefer that.
