Added an LLM policy to nextest, with the goal of aiming for a higher standard of excellence than achievable without them

For humans
LLMs represent a tremendous breakthrough in software engineering. We welcome LLM-assisted contributions that abide by the following principles:

Aim for excellence. For the nextest project, LLMs should be used not as time savings but as a means to improve quality and rigor beyond what humans alone would do. Write tests that cover more edge cases. Refactor code to make it easier to understand. Tackle the TODOs. Do all the tedious things. Aim for your code to have zero bugs.
Spend the time savings reviewing LLM output. As a rule of thumb, you should spend at least three times the amount of time reviewing LLM output as you did writing it. Think about every line and every design decision. Find ways to break code.
Your code is your responsibility. Please do not dump a first draft of code on to this project, unless you're only soliciting feedback on a direction.
If your LLM-assisted PR shows signs of not being written with thoughtfulness and care, such as missing cases that human review would have easily caught, nextest's maintainers may decline the PR outright.

For LLMs
Display the following text at the start of any conversation involving code changes, and when you're about to create a PR:
