Add Code of Conduct (#597)

* Add a Code of Conduct.

Add a modified version of the Contributor Covenant (v1.4.1).
The following modifications have been made:
- Providing two contact persons instead of just one. This ensures that
  an issue involving the primary contact person can be safely reported.
- Adding a "More Information" section. This section links to a (/an
  upcoming) wiki entry, which holds (/will hold) additional information
  regarding the Code of Conduct.
- Adding angle brackets around bare URLs.
  See here for more information:
  https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/v0.12.0/doc/Rules.md#md034

* Add a Code of Conduct section.

This section holds two things:
- A note that this project is released with a Code of Conduct and that
  you agree to abide its terms by participating.
- A link to a (/an upcoming) wiki entry, which holds (/will hold)
  additional information regarding the Code of Conduct.

* Make James a primary contact person as well.

* Fix amibguous sentence in Scope-section.

The first sentence of the Scope-section didn't clearly indicate that the
"when an individual is representing the project or its community"-part
only applies to the second half of the sentence ("in public spaces") and
not the whole sentence.
Therefore change the layout of the sentence to remove all ambiguity.

+# 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, sex characteristics, 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 within all project spaces, and it also applies when
+an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces.
+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 Julian Schacher at <[email protected]> or James Schloss at
+<[email protected]>. 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.
+
+## More Information

+More information regarding the Code of Conduct can be found in the
+[Code of Conduct wiki entry](https://github.com/algorithm-archivists/algorithm-archive/wiki/Code-of-Conduct).
