conduct: Upgrade to Contributor Covenant

It's pretty much the GitHub standard, says the obvious, and does it
better than our old one which was a little bit rambling.

Intentionally just doing it instead of discussing it, in the hope of
avoiding trolling. So sue me.

-## Conduct
-
-* We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming
-  environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation,
-  disability, ethnicity, religion, or similar personal characteristic.
-
-* On IRC, please avoid using overtly sexual nicknames or other nicknames
-  that might detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
-  all.
-
-* Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be mean or rude.
-
-* Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design
-  or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There
-  is seldom a right answer.
-
-* Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid
-  ideas you want to experiment with, make a fork and see how it works.
-
-* We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass
-  anyone. That is not welcome behaviour. We interpret the term
-  "harassment" as including the definition in the <a
-  href="http://citizencodeofconduct.org/">Citizen Code of Conduct</a>;
-  if you have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that
-  concept, please read their definition. In particular, we don't
-  tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized
-  groups.
-
-* Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you
-  feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a
-  community member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the
-  Syncthing core team immediately. Whether you're a regular  contributor
-  or a newcomer, we care about making this community a safe place for
-  you and we've got your back.
-
-* Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other
-  attention-stealing behaviour is not welcome.
-
-## Moderation
-
-These are the policies for upholding our community's standards of
-conduct in our communication channels, most notably in Syncthing-related
-IRC channels and on the web forum.
-
-1. Remarks that violate the Syncthing standards of conduct, including
-   hateful, hurtful, oppressive, or exclusionary remarks, are not
-   allowed. (Cursing is allowed, but never targeting another user, and
-   never in a hateful manner.)
-
-2. Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the
-   code of conduct or not, are also not allowed.
-
-3. Moderators will first respond to such remarks with a warning.
-
-4. If the warning is unheeded, the user will be "kicked," i.e., kicked
-   out of the communication channel to cool off.
-
-5. If the user comes back and continues to make trouble, they will be
-   banned, i.e., indefinitely excluded.
-
-6. Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it
-   was a first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine
-   apology.
-
-7. If a moderator bans someone and you think it was unjustified, please
-   take it up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, **in
-   private**. Complaints about bans in-channel are not allowed.
-
-8. Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community
-   members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they
-   should expect less leeway than others.
-
-In the Syncthing community we strive to go the extra step to look out
-for each other. Don't just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to
-be your best self. In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or
-sensitive issues, particularly if they're off-topic; this all too
-often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust;
-worse, it can drive people away from the community entirely.
-
-And if someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the
-urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about
-and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly
-accused, chances are good there was something you could've communicated
-better — remember that it's your responsibility to make your fellow
-community members comfortable. Everyone wants to get along and we are
-all here first and foremost because we want to talk about cool
-technology. You will find that people will be eager to assume good
-intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust.

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race,
+religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+  advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at security@syncthing.net. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
