Fixes #2213

OpenROAD is a Git submodule inside ORFS at tools/OpenROAD/. When contributors fork only ORFS, the submodule still points to
the original OpenROAD repo. Since they lack write access to the original, the build fails.

Changes:

  • docs/contrib/GitGuide.md: Added step-by-step forking instructions
  • README.md: Added a note directing contributors to the Git Guide
