Fix contribution guide about adding code samples (#9574)

We have consolidated all YAML examples into `content/en/examples`
directory. This PR updates the contribution guide so that people know
where to put their sample YAML files when adding/changing topics.

## Embedding code in your topic
If you want to include some code in your topic, you can embed the code in your
file directly using the markdown code block syntax. This is recommended for the
following cases (not an exhaustive list):
- The code is showing the output from a command such as
`kubectl get deploy mydeployment -o json | jq '.status'`.
- The code is not generic enough for users to try out. As an example, the YAML
file for creating a Pod which depends on a specific
[FlexVolume](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes#flexvolume) implementation can be
directly embedded into the topic when appropriate.
- The code is an incomplete example because its purpose is to highlight a
portion of an otherwise large file. For example, when describing ways to
customize the [PodSecurityPolicy](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/sysctl-cluster/#podsecuritypolicy)
for some reasons, you may provide a short snippet directly in your topic file.
- The code is not meant for users to try out due to other reasons. For example,
when describing how a new attribute should be added to a resource using the
`kubectl edit` command, you may provide a short example that includes only
the attribute to add.
## Including code from another file
To include a code file in your topic, place the code file in the Kubernetes
documentation repository, preferably in the same directory as your topic
file. In your topic file, use the `include` tag:
Another way to include code in your topic is to create a new, complete sample
file (or a group of sample files) and then reference the sample(s) from your
topic. This is the preferred way of including sample YAML files when the sample
is generic, reusable, and you want the readers to try it out by themselves.
<pre>&#123;% include code.html language="&lt;LEXERVALUE&gt;" file="&lt;RELATIVEPATH&gt;" ghlink="/&lt;PATHFROMROOT&gt;" %&#125;</pre>
When adding a new standalone sample file (e.g. a YAML file), place the code in
one of the `<LANG>/examples/` subdirectories where `<LANG>` is the language for
the topic. In your topic file, use the `codenew` shortcode:
where:
<pre>&#123;&#123;&lt; codenew file="&lt;RELPATH&gt;/my-example-yaml&gt;" &gt;&#125;&#125;</pre>
* `<LEXERVALUE>` is the language in which the file was written. This must be
[a value supported by Rouge](https://github.com/jneen/rouge/wiki/list-of-supported-languages-and-lexers).
* `<RELATIVEPATH>` is the path to the file you're including, relative to the current file, for example, `local-volume.yaml`.
* `<PATHFROMROOT>` is the path to the file relative to root, for example, `docs/tutorials/stateful-application/mysql-wordpress-persistent-volume/local-volumes.yaml`.
where `<RELPATH>` is the path to the file you're including, relative to the
`examples` directory. For example, the following short code references a YAML
file located at `content/en/examples/pods/storage/gce-volume.yaml`.
Here's an example of using the `include` tag:
<pre>&#123;% include code.html language="yaml" file="gce-volume.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/gce-volume.yaml" %&#125;</pre>
<pre>&#123;&#123;&lt; codenew file="pods/storage/gce-volume.yaml" &gt;&#125;&#125;</pre>
## Showing how to create an API object from a configuration file
If you need to show the reader how to create an API object based on a
configuration file, place the configuration file in the Kubernetes documentation
repository, preferably in the same directory as your topic file.
configuration file, place the configuration file in one of the subdirectories
under `<LANG>/examples`.
In your topic, show this command:
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/<PATHFROMROOT>
```
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/storage/gce-volume.yaml
```
where `<PATHFROMROOT>` is the path to the configuration file relative to root,
for example, `docs/tutorials/stateful-application/mysql-wordpress-persistent-volume/local-volumes.yaml`.
Here's an example of a command that creates an API object from a configuration file:
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/mysql-wordpress-persistent-volume/local-volumes.yaml
{{< note >}}
**NOTE**: When adding new YAML files to the `<LANG>/examples` directory, make
sure the file is also included into the `<LANG>/examples_test.go` file. The
Travis CI for the Website automatically runs this test case when PRs are
submitted to ensure all examples pass the tests.
