Subject: [PATCH] Making clear that AI-generated PRs are not allowed (#3000)

This follows PRs from @ibooga generated by Claude Code that spam the reviewers.
We need to find a technical solution to instruct language modes or AI coding assistants not to submit PRs.
In the meantime, the rule is written in CONTRIBUTING.md.
