What?
This PR introduces a section in the Contributing Guidelines of the

package to standardize the procedure of introducing a new version of an existing component.Why?
We've been recently working on introducing new version of existing components (
Tooltip

,CustomSelectControl
,DropdownMenu
,Composite
). While working on it, we gathered experience on what worked well, and we thing it's a good idea to standardize the process for future work.
