Description of Change

The Contributor Covenant has been updated to v3.0 now, so I am going through and updating our code of conduct documentation throughout the organization. This code of conduct file has served as our most up to date file in the past, so I am updating it first. However, we also have our .github code of conduct that is used as the default in all repositories if a code of conduct file is not found.

I am fine with keeping both this file and the .github one (once it is also updated) if there is some reason they should remain separate, but it might make sense to get rid of this one in favor of just having the one in .github. I think both options are worth discussing further, but this PR should help us get started.
