Introduce a *draft* of a code of conduct for the LLVM community and the

associated reporting guide.

I want to emphasize that at this point these are just drafts!

This is the result of very extended discussion on the mailing lists on
several different threads:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-October/091218.html
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-May/099120.html
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151019/307070.html

The reporting guide in particular I anticipate will be shaped somewhat
by the advisory committee when they are selected. But hopefully this
serves as a good starting point and good guidance while the advisory
committee is being sorted out.

I'd like to thank all the folks who contributed to this. Many, *many*
people worked to help with drafting, wording, suggestions, and edits.
Also, this is based on widely used existing codes of coduct as mentioned
in the text, and the original authors of those deserve many thanks as
well.

+==============================
+LLVM Community Code of Conduct
+==============================
+
+.. note::
+
+   This document is currently a **DRAFT** document while it is being discussed
+   by the community.
+
+The LLVM community has always worked to be a welcoming and respectful
+community, and we want to ensure that doesn't change as we grow and evolve. To
+that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to:
+
+* `be friendly and patient`_,
+* `be welcoming`_,
+* `be considerate`_,
+* `be respectful`_,
+* `be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others`_, and
+* `when we disagree, try to understand why`_.
+
+This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in
+the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to communicate
+and participate in the community.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the LLVM project or The
+LLVM Foundation. This includes IRC channels, mailing lists, bug trackers, LLVM
+events such as the developer meetings and socials, and any other forums created
+by the project that the community uses for communication. It applies to all of
+your communication and conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, things
+you say, slides, videos, posters, signs, or even t-shirts you display in these
+spaces. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare
+cases, affect a person's ability to participate within them.
+
+If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report
+it by emailing conduct@llvm.org. For more details please see our
+:doc:`Reporting Guide <ReportingGuide>`.
+
+.. _be friendly and patient:
+
+* **Be friendly and patient.**
+
+.. _be welcoming:
+
+* **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
+  people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited
+  to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour,
+  immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual
+  orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status,
+  political belief, religion or lack thereof, and mental and physical ability.
+
+.. _be considerate:
+
+* **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn
+  will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users
+  and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account. Remember
+  that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in
+  someone else's primary language.
+
+.. _be respectful:
+
+* **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is
+  no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
+  frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into
+  a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people
+  feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the LLVM
+  community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as
+  with people outside the LLVM community.
+
+.. _be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others:
+
+* **Be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others.** Do not
+  insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary
+  behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
+
+  * Violent threats or language directed against another person.
+  * Discriminatory jokes and language.
+  * Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+  * Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
+    information ("doxing").
+  * Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
+  * Unwelcome sexual attention.
+  * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
+
+  In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. Persisting in such
+  behavior after being asked to stop is considered harassment.
+
+.. _when we disagree, try to understand why:
+
+* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
+  technical, happen all the time and LLVM is no exception. It is important that
+  we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that
+  we’re different. The strength of LLVM comes from its varied community, people
+  from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
+  perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds
+  a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to
+  err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping
+  to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
