Documentation: Add code of conduct

Communities have standards regarding behaviours they consider acceptable
or not acceptable, and expect community members to follow those
standards. libcamera is no different, even if it has never clearly
expressed those standards in a formal code of conduct document.

Like software licenses, codes of conduct can be written in a myriad of
ways. And like software licenses, using a widely adopted code of conduct
instead of writing our own can help bringing clarity. One such standard
code of conduct is the Contributor Covenant, stewarded by the
Organization for Ethical Source.

The Contributor Covenant has been adopted by the freedesktop.org
organization, which hosts a large number of projects historically
related to graphics, and more recently to multimedia in general.
freedesktop.org offers services such as git hosting with CI, which
libcamera could benefit from. There is therefore a clear incentive to
choose the same code of conduct as freedesktop.org, and no known
drawback.

As a first step towards this, and to keep the libcamera code of conduct
history clear in git, copy the original Contributor Covenant v1.4 from
https://github.com/EthicalSource/contributor_covenant/. "v1.4" is
ambiguous as the document initially published as v1.4 has received small
(but sometimes significant) modifications over time. The version
imported here ([1]) is the most recent "v1.4", from tags/2.1 (commit
8a3be1350b07 "Merge pull request #979 from JustArchi/patch-2").

# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
## Our Pledge
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
## Our Standards
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
include:
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
* Focusing on what is best for the community
* Showing empathy towards other community members
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
advances
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
address, without explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
## Our Responsibilities
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
threatening, offensive, or harmful.
## Scope
This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when
an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces.
Examples of representing a project or community include using an official
project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting
as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of
a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
## Enforcement
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by contacting the project team at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
members of the project's leadership.
