Create a code of conduct for the project

I'd like to have this one in before we do the PyCon UK spring next week. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

No objections from me, though it's the sort of thing that I wish we didn't need to have.

It may benefit from a note in the enforcement section that says something like "While we pledge to take all reports seriously, please give others the benefit of the doubt initially: text is a medium lacking nuance and unintentional miscommunication is a common occurrence."

Also I wonder if there's a better place for this at the project level. However I don't see a way to have a readme for the entire Axelrod organization, so I guess this is the best place for now.

Two questions:

• Are we not sufficiently following e.g. github's code of conduct? Or is this simply a case of explicit is better than implicit?
• Would it be better to adopt the same code of conduct as e.g. github or python?

I think I like it here but we do have: http://axelrod-python.github.io/ (source: /~https://github.com/Axelrod-Python/Axelrod-Python.github.io) which is an option?

I believe @meatballs has sourced this from somewhere.

My one comment would be: can we have a pointer from the contributing guidelines to the CoC (nothing much, just a simple sentence): http://axelrod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/contributing/guidelines.html

I'm happy enough with this (and I know @meatballs wants to get it in soon) so I gave it a positive review. Feel free to make the changes suggested in the comments above, it won't change my opinion either way.

OK, I'll merge. My request for a pointer from the contribution guidelines can also be added at another stage.
