Add contributor guidelines and CoC

[jarrodmillman]

It seems like it would be good to adopt existing contributor guidelines and CoC from upstream projects. To that end...

Here is the contributing overview for networkx:
https://github.com/networkx/networkx/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst

It is almost identical to (with the head removed):
https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.txt

Both projects (as well as many others) also use:
https://github.com/matthew-brett/gitwash

I could make a PR if this seems like a reasonable start.

I don't have much experience with this, but here is the scipy CoC:
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/tree/master/doc/source/dev/conduct
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/master/.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
If that seems reasonable, I could also make a PR for the CoC as well.

For both PRs I would do basic editing so that things are specific to grave and not the project I copy them from. I would submit them as separate PRs as they may have different lifetimes as a PR being reviewed even though they are related.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me!

That sounds great Jarrod! It looks like scipy is using the standard Ada Initiative CoC, or something close to it, which was the direction I was thinking. We just need to find ourselves an outside contact point for complaints against core developers. @halexand is currently in our lab but starting a tenure track position at WHOI this fall; she's super cool and easy to talk with, and has volunteered to take on the contact position.

Harriet looks like a great choice and even better she is willing to do it! I'll create a PR later today.
