Update contracts.rst
I left the example with contract C only, showing the access specifiers discussed at 186-188. The specifier of data is left public since nothing is related to accessor functions now. Added a separate example with contracts C, D and E to show specifier's effect. Added a separate example to prove the synthesizing of accessor functions. Added a new example to show the internal/external call of the accessor, according to existent discussion.
