[PATCH] drm: Document code of conduct

freedesktop.org has adopted a formal&enforced code of conduct:

https://www.fooishbar.org/blog/fdo-contributor-covenant/
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct/

Besides formalizing things a bit more I don't think this changes
anything for us, we've already peer-enforced respectful and
constructive interactions since a long time. But it's good to document
things properly.

Note: As Daniel Stone mentioned in the announcement fd.o admins
started chatting with the communities their hosting, which includs the
X.org foundation board, to figure out how to fan out enforcement and
allow projects to run things on their own (with fd.o still as the
fallback).  So the details of enforcement (and appealing decisions)
might still change, but since this involves the board and lots more
people it'll take a while to get there. For now this is good enough I
think.

For the text itself I went with the same blurb as the Wayland project,
didn't feel creative yet this early in the morning:

@@ -85,3 +85,14 @@ This means that there's a blackout-period of about one month where feature work
 can't be merged. The recommended way to deal with that is having a -next tree
 that's always open, but making sure to not feed it into linux-next during the
 blackout period. As an example, drm-misc works like that.
