feat: Add README, update file naming and references

This commit introduces a new README.md file with basic project information and placeholders for future sections. It also renames 'code-of-conduct.md' to 'CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md' for consistency. All references to the code of conduct within markdown files have been updated to reflect the name change. Additionally, it sets up a placeholder file for codeowners.
