rABCdd90161adea4: Update the suggested key type in the contributing file
Summary

The ssh-rsa public key signature algorith has been deprecated by openssh (see https://lwn.net/Articles/821544/), and it might lead to authenticatio failure if the client does not support the new rsa signature algo alternatives.

ED25519 support is live for a while and creates shorter keys, which might be useful for users with no copy/paste facility (like with some VNC clients), so suggest that instead.
