pip install command is wrong, in CONTRIBUTING.md developer instructions #2557

Since I am using a Docker container to provide the exact Python version required to develop the corresponding tag of Brython (3.13.1), I have to use pip NOT pipenv (and in any case the latter would have no benefit in this one-time-use container environment).

CONTRIBUTING.md says to install dev requirements via the command::

pip install -r requirements.txt

However, there is (currently) no file named requirements.txt in the entire Brython git repository, so of course this command crashes.

Note that I was able to run make_dist.py apparently fine (no error messages) even without installing any python packages.

Note that the only package I had to install to get server.py to run was just::

pip install aiohttp

I don't know if that is actually adequate for server.py to work 100%.
