Add Engineering Guidelines to Sia Repo

MERGE REQUEST

MR Guidelines

Overview

This MR brings the engineering guidelines created in the google doc into the Sia repo. Comments from the google doc have been incorporated or issues have been created to follow up.

Now that the guidelines are in the repo, we can address discussions and updates on various sections. It is not my intention for those discussions to happen in this MR. I encourage any discussion to create a follow up issue to address it.
