[ci skip] Changing the order of the rebase with autosquash command in the contributing.md

[mja00]

I was attempting to edit an older patch to get the feel for doing so as I want to eventually assist with fixing bugs/creating new features. I ran into some weirdness when trying to rebuild my patches and that boiled down to the command listed for rebasing with autosquash here acting weird on Windows(and maybe other systems).

When rebasing using the command provided there I was ending up with Spigot patches in the end after rebuilding them. I posted in paper-dev and MM pointed out that it'd be caused by not rebasing with the base. Apparently, the order of the arguments needs to be quite specific otherwise it doesn't actually rebase using that tag. I tried changing the order to git rebase -i --autosquash base as told by MM and it worked properly and was only rebuilding Paper patches.

Not too sure why it wasn't working properly but I thought of making a PR to update the contributing guide in case anyone else runs into that issue as it looks like the order doesn't affect Linux at all.

Thanks and I hope to make more PRs in the future :D

Does this make a difference on all git platforms or just git for windows? I totally assumed they were interchangeable

Not too sure, all I know is on Windows it wasn't taking the base tag because I was getting Spigot patches. I can give it a test on my MacBook to see if it's weird there too.

Order doesn't matter on my MacBook, rebuilds the patches fine either order. Looks like it might be a git for windows thing which honestly doesn't shock me.

If you want I can change it to something like "Use X command if you're using git for windows". Though since it appears neither arrangement matters for unix based systems probably just having it in the format that makes windows happy would be fine. Up to y'all.

Add [ci skip] to the start of the title (can also be handled by merger ofc)

Windows.... This should probably be reported to them if it's not already, but, bleh
