Documentation/CoC: Reflect current CoC interpretation and practices
The Code of Conduct interpretation does not reflect the current practices of the CoC committee or the TAB. Update the documentation to remove references to initial committees and boot strap periods since it is past that time, and note that the this document does serve as the documentation for the CoC committee processes.
