Drop Eclipse instructions (#53667)

Hacking Elasticsearch with Eclipse is fairly broken. Some things work,
but we can't in good concience point contributors to Eclipse. This drops
the instrucions for Eclipse from CONTRIBUTING.md. We *do* want to fix
Eclipse. But we don't see that happening in the next few months. Once we
*have* fixed Eclipse we'll rewrite the instructions.
