Moving core team docs from Code Contributor Program into Community Relations

Nick Veenhof requested to merge move-core-to-cs into master

Why is this change being made?

We need to redivide the responsibilities after the RIF, and that means that the code contributor program no longer exists on its own but has combined efforts with the Contributor Success team. The change moves the core team 1 level up, to the community relations level, also but makes it clear who the DRI is. I felt it was not useful to move it under Contributor Success, as it's a piece of Community Relations, which just happens to have Contributor Success as DRI today. We might scale in the future, so this sets us up for that.

@leetickett-gitlab I made the sentence of the DRI generic, as we could always decide to change. More ideal is if I could programmatically read it from the codeowners and add this in there Scratch that, I'll remove that section as it's clear from the right hand side who is the DRI.
