This adds instructions on how to run the code formatter to CONTRIBUTING.

This fixes a few flaky unit tests that relied on `Thread.sleep` to ensure that all metrics processing was done.  Rather than using `Thread.sleep`, we can instead use an inline event queue in the OpenCensus stats component to execute all work inline, removing the need to wait for anything to finish.

Thank you for opening a Pull Request! Before submitting your PR, there are a few things you can do to make sure it goes smoothly:
- [ ] Make sure to open an issue as a [bug/issue](https://togithub.com/googleapis/java-bigtable/issues/new/choose) before writing your code!  That way we can discuss the change, evaluate designs, and agree on the general idea
- [ ] Ensure the tests and linter pass
- [ ] Code coverage does not decrease (if any source code was changed)
- [ ] Appropriate docs were updated (if necessary)

Fixes #<issue_number_goes_here> ☕️

If you write sample code, please follow the [samples format](
https://togithub.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/blob/main/SAMPLE_FORMAT.md).
