David Golden 07a5ce65d5 Add top-level Code of Conduct document
This commit adds a top-level file that points readers to the actual
Standards of Conduct in perlpolicy.pod.  It also makes a point to
distinguish between what the Perl Steering Council is responsible for
and what other community groups are responsible for.

Code of Conduct

Development of the Perl 5 language is covered by the Standards of Conduct in the perlpolicy document. (See pod/perlpolicy.pod for source version.)

The overarching rule is that participants are expected to be civil. It is not enough to be factual. You must also be civil.

The Standard of Conduct falls under the authority of the Perl Steering Council and covers activities on the perl5-porters mailing list, the GitHub repository issue/pull-request tracker, and any other venues directly organized on behalf the Perl Steering Council.

NOTE: The Perl Steering Council operates independently of The Perl Foundation and other Perl community organizations. Consult their websites for information on other community codes of conduct.
