Repository: MAIF/melusine

Issue:
🥅 améliorer un message de raise + minor updates dans la doc (contributing.md ..)
**Description of Problem:**

https://github.com/MAIF/melusine/blob/18ab6e68346688beb84317c7bba33b4d7f2f526d/melusine/pipeline.py#L224

```python
melusine/pipeline.py:224: 
raise TypeError(f"Object {obj_class} does not inherit from the SaverMixin class")  # pragma: no cover 
```
reference à SaverMixin alors que la classe n'est pas définie.

**Overview of the Solution**
Remplacer par IoMixin et faire quelques updates dans la doc (lien mort)

**Definition of Done**
Documentation et correction du message de raise
