Add Gitea Community Code of Conduct

[wolfogre]

The Gitea Community Code of Conduct.

Authored by lunny. Slightly modified from Go CoC

---

CC all TOCs:

@go-gitea/technical-oversight-committee

And we welcome suggestions from everyone.

[jolheiser]

It should be noted at least in this PR that this CoC is based on the Go CoC.

[delvh]

Ping.
This is a PR that should be merged rather earlier than later.

[wolfogre]

Need more help from other English native speakers.

-Online communities include people from many different backgrounds. The Go contributors are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or similar personal characteristics.

-The first goal of the Code of Conduct is to specify a baseline standard of behavior so that people with different social values and communication styles can talk about Go effectively, productively, and respectfully.

It's not much different aside from Go -> Gitea, which I think is fine considering the point is to work from a solid base.

One thing that may be important to note or act upon is the question of "what if someone has a problem with a TOC member?".
The wording is a bit vague regarding who conduct@ is composed of. Is it a new group?
In the Go CoC there is an alternative email given, however we don't exactly have the same form of governance. Perhaps we need wording that such reports can be made to any given TOC member, in case a report to coduct@ would also include someone within that group?

The email address is a mail list will be forwarded to all members of TOC. I think it's OK to send an email to it so that every TOC member will receive it.
