Link to the ARFC Code of Conduct in the CONTRIBUTING.md document

EDIT 1: The first comment below specifies an easier solution by linking to the existing ARFC code of conduct. The issue has been updated to reflect this.

The CONTRIBUTING.md document should link to the expected code of conduct for contributors.

This issue can be closed when a link to the ARFC Code of Conduct has been added to the document.

The original issue is preserved below

Original title: Create a Contributor Code of Conduct

Moltres does not have a Contributor Code of Conduct. A Contributor Code of Conduct defines expected behaviors for all contributing members to a project as well as consequences for not following the behavior. A code of conduct is important for open source projects like Moltres to ensure constructive interactions between contributors in general, and especially when there are conflicts of opinion.

The Contributor Code of Conduct should specify

• expected behavior and conduct of contributors (in a sentence, don't be a hostile person)
• ethical responsibilities of contributors (in a sentence, cite when you use a resource)
• consequences (rules without consequences cannot be enforced)

This list is not comprehensive and should be updated as necessary. The Contributor Code of Conduct should use clear, concise, and easy to read language. A good place to start for inspiration might be the Contributor Covenant or the ARFC Code of Conduct

This issue can be closed once a Contributor Code of Conduct that addresses the above items exists.

The ARFC code of conduct applies to all ARFC projects. I suggest that this issue can be closed by linking to that CoC in the README and/or CONTRIBUTING.md.

I would prefer not to maintain separate codes of conduct for all the dozens of projects in the ARFC umbrella.

That makes sense. I have updated the issue to reflect this.
