thepudds bc1d71ff64 cmd/compile: add a 'Tips' section to README to help new contributors
This CL adds a new 'Tips' section to the cmd/compile README.

The primary intent is to help new-ish contributors.

It includes some basics on getting started, testing changes,
viewing coverage, juggling different compiler versions,
some links to additional tools, and so on.

Updates #30074
