Adapt OpenImageIO's AI policy (CC-BY-4.0) for OpenFX, as suggested by ASWF folks. Adds AI_POLICY.md and a summary section in CONTRIBUTING.md. Adaptations: no CLA (DCO-only), BSD-3-Clause license reference, and a note that the bar is especially high for changes to the standard itself via the Standard Process. Marked DRAFT pending TSC review. Assisted-by: Claude Code / Claude Fable 5 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Gary Oberbrunner <garyo@darkstarsystems.com>

- In git terminology this should be "commit message" rather than "commit comment" (and it should match the wording used in the Summary section).
**Disclosure is required.** Patches that were written with the aid of AI
coding assistants must have, at a minimum, the following line in the commit
comment and PR description body:
Assisted-by: TOOL / MODEL
