[FEATURE] Make CONTRIBUTING.md files mention the RFC/RRFC process for new features?

[TysonAndre]

What / Why

New feature requests get opened by new contributors in the issue trackers of npm/cli, etc and closed mentioning that the RRFC process should be used instead. The first place I found the RRFC process mentioned was in the reason for closing feature requests, not in README.md or CONTRIBUTING.md in https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/latest/CONTRIBUTING.md

When

• n/a

Where

https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/latest/CONTRIBUTING.md
Various other repos in https://github.com/npm/

How

Current Behavior

No mention of RRFC process or what to do to request new features in README.md/CONTRIBUTING.md of npm/cli, and probably other repos.

(Some repos such as https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-fetch#contributing also have a 404 for their link to CONTRIBUTING.md "Contributors guide" https://github.com/npm/npm-registry-fetch/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

Expected Behavior

Add a section along the lines of:

New Features

New feature requests should be reported in the https://github.com/npm/rfcs/ repo instead of this repo. Please check if a similar feature request has been made already.
