Shorthands of length 4 are not allowed. Value was $small-spacing $small-spacing $small-spacing 0

This is bad guidance. The best way to achieve this padding is via that shorthand (versus long-hand of margin-top, margin-right, etc.). Just because I need 0 for margin-left doesn’t mean I should be throwing off our linter. I’ve adjusted scss-lint (and Hound in return) in ca1aea7.

Should we have a proper ellipsis? …

- Increase bottom and top margin on tables
- This matches the same bottom and top margin values we set on `hr`
elements.
- Move `text-align` property to `table`
- In most situations, left-aligned text within a table is ideal. This
makes sure the whole table is left-aligned, while still allowing
easy overriding on a per-column basis (e.g. for numeral data).
- Change vertical alignment of tables
- Vertically aligning cell text in the middle makes for a bad reading
experience because there is no consistent or expected starting point
for text that the eyes can pick up on.
- This changes the vertical alignment of cell text to:
- Bottom of the cell in the table header (`thead`)
- Top of the cell in the table body (`tbody`)
- Set table borders on the row
- Rather than setting borders on each individual cell, this sets it on
the whole row (`tr`).
- Use the headings line-height in table headers
- Add padding to the right of each table cell
- This prevents adjacement cell text from butting into each other.

I’ve been working on a few table-heavy projects lately and I’ve found that the base table styles that Bitters provided me left a lot to be desired. Specifically, if the table has decently long strings of text within it, the layout really fell apart and made for a painful reading experience. This PR updates the table styles with a new niceties which I think makes a great starting point for nearly all tables, and also updates the contributing page markup to include some longer text within the cells.
