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
2+
3+
Development of the Perl 5 language is covered by the [Standards of
4+
Conduct](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#STANDARDS-OF-CONDUCT) in the
5+
[perlpolicy](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy) document. (See
6+
[pod/perlpolicy.pod](pod/perlpolicy.pod) for source version.)
7+
8+
The overarching rule is that participants are expected to **be civil**.
9+
It is not enough to be factual. You must also be civil.
10+
11+
The Standard of Conduct falls under the authority of the
12+
[Perl Steering Council](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlgov#The-Steering-Council)
13+
and covers activities on the perl5-porters mailing list, the
14+
GitHub repository issue/pull-request tracker, and any other venues
15+
directly organized on behalf the Perl Steering Council.
16+
17+
**NOTE**: The Perl Steering Council operates independently of
18+
[The Perl Foundation](https://www.perlfoundation.org/) and other
19+
Perl community organizations. Consult their websites for information on
20+
other community codes of conduct.
