Add documentation for developping an existing app

Browse Source 
The App development » Introduction documentation only discusses how to create a new app. Wanting to contribute to an existing app, I was confused by this. Once I figured out how to set everything up so that I could see my changes to the app in my development version of Nextcloud, I thought I would make this pull request to add this information to the docs.

Then create a skeleton app in the `app store <https://apps.nextcloud.com/developer/apps/generate>`_. This doesn't publish anything on the appstore yet, it just gives you a download.
Edit an existing app
--------------------
Alternatively, if you would like to contribute to an existing app instead of creating a new one, first :doc:`set up the development environment <../getting_started/devenv>`, then change into the Nextcloud apps directory::
cd /var/www/nextcloud/apps
Finally, clone the app to which you would like to contribute. For example:
git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/cookbook.git
Enable the app
--------------
The app can now be enabled on the Nextcloud apps page.
