[gdal-dev] RFC111 AI/LLM tool policy: proposal for a significant revision

[Howard Butler]

Yes, I tried to provide some front matter rationale and discretize the policy items so it was more clear. I will say I'm a bit skeptical on the specifics because LLM code contribution seems likely to become less and less obvious as time goes on. We clearly don't want to be answering agents or unsupervised LLM contribution however, as it isn't the maintainers' job to train the LLMs. 

Let's go with this for now and revisit as needed.
