Research direction

The change is a new CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md at the repository root that links to the Matrix Code of Conduct at https://matrix.org/legal/code-of-conduct/. Check CONTRIBUTING.md for its current wording, since the issue asks whether to mention the new file there too. Done when the file exists, links to the Code of Conduct, and any CONTRIBUTING.md mention is reviewed by a maintainer.

Description

meta

Given that this repository is under the control of the matrix-org organisation, the Matrix Code of Conduct applies. However, this isn’t made clear in the repository. I think we should add a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file that simply points to the Code of Conduct. Perhaps we should also mention this new file in CONTRIBUTING.md?

Doing this would boost our "Community Standards", see: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/community
