Add contributor related files to repo

[jpswinski]

Provide a CONTRIBUTING.md, COMMITERS.md, and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file in the repo to support and recognize outside contributors.

Applicable to other public repos as well.

@jpswinski I believe you can place CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md in the special ISCESat-2-SlideRule/.github repo and they will be applied to the Org by default but can be overridden by ones in individual repos. Same with other "community health" files like issue and PR templates.

Perfect! @jpswinski I created this .github repo for our org (currently contains README.md for the org page). I'm testing now with CITATION.md

Ah...looks like they only allow this for limited file types:
https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/creating-a-default-community-health-file#supported-file-types

You cannot create a default license file. License files must be added to individual repositories so the file will be included when a project is cloned, packaged, or downloaded.

Thanks @jhkennedy and @dshean - for what they allow, this looks like it is exactly what we want.

👍
Im thinking we can centralize additional shared md in the .github repo, even if not formally supported. And can just deploy copies to each individual repo manually or with a little script. Maybe some clever way to accomplish with links.
