  contributing: Add AGENTS.md with guidelines for AI agents (#7110)

Adds instructions for AI coding agents in general (somewhat standardized AGENTS.md in the top dir) and Claude Code specific file linking it. This should improve the quality of the code and commits generated by agents/tools which have access to the repository code.

I developed that during test creation (for pytest) and during the work on the file itself, so probably more is needed for Python and C tools, GUI, grass.gunittest tests. I then tried to optimize what is in the new file versus what is already elsewhere to minimize duplication (maybe we eventually want to cover some of these items in the other documentation). It now references a lot of existing files which likely increases the computational cost.

Comments on use of AI and references CONTRIBUTING.md AI use policy.

For (local) linting, only pre-commit is used. Also pytest run of all test is left for the CI.
