[PATCH] MyFirstContribution: link #git-devel to Libera Chat

It's pretty safe to say that most of the regulars on #git-devel are now on Libera Chat. This will help new contributors find the right place, if they choose to ask questions on `#git-devel`.

Since there seems to be no way to directly link Libera's web chat to `#git-devel` directly, I have put a generic link over the text 'Libera Chat'. Users will have to manually type `#git-devel` in the webchat interface, but that should be obvious enough to not be worth mentioning.

My heuristic for determining "most of the regulars are on Libera Chat" is the fact that the last biweekly standup happened there.
