RFC: The Binutils and LLM generated patches

Hi Guys,

  I think that it is time that the GNU Binutils project had a position
  on whether or not it will accept LLM generated content.  I am
  proposing the attached text as a description of the project's standing
  on this issue, and I am interested to hear your comments.

  My plan is to add this text - or rather whatever final version we
  reach - to the binutils/README file and the Contributors page on the
  binutils wiki.  I am also wondering if we should have a file similar
  to the binutils/SECURITY.txt file.  But if so, what name should we use?

  The proposed text also invents two new tags for LLM generated
  contributions:  Generated-By:  and  LLM-Query:  I just pulled these
  out of thin air, so feel to suggest better ones, or tell me that they
  are pointless.

Cheers
  Nick
