Move technical policies from the website to the repository

At least the coding style should be moved. Not sure if there are others.

Related to this - the page https://www.openssl.org/policies/otc-policies.html is now out of date.

Should https://www.openssl.org/policies/otc-policies.html be updated to point to this repo?

Point that page to https://github.com/openssl/technical-policies/tree/master/policies#readme IMO. That is, point links to that page to the alternate URL and have a stub page with the link.

Has this issue become obsolete?

As for policies/otc-policies.html, that page literally just pointed here, so is nothing exciting. openssl/web#312 drops it and generates a better list of links, see https://beta.openssl.org/policies/technical/. That list is generated from existing policies in this repo.

If everyone else agrees with the solution you propose in openssl/web#312, i.e., if your pull request get's merged, then this issue can be closed.

(FWIW: according to this help page, GitHub supports linking a pull request to an issue in another repository, so you could add a Fixes openssl/technical-policies#6 annotation to your pull request.)

Good point (and I can confirm this... I've already used it elsewhere, it even works across different organizations)

And done for the commit that actually drops policies/otc-policies.html
