📚 Add compatibility policy to README.md

I saw a chart similar to this in ruby/openssl's README, and it seems
like this is a relatively simple way to communicate our versioning.

I'll propose documentation for a slightly more detailed policy in a
future PR.

+## Compatibility and Maintenance Policy
+
+`net-imap` is bundled with Ruby releases.  As a [bundled gem], it can be
+uninstalled from a Ruby installation and must be declared in `Gemfile` when used
+with `bundler`.  Each stable branch of `net-imap` will remain supported as long
+as it is included as a bundled gem in [supported Ruby branches].

+Version 0.1.x was packaged as a [default gem] for Ruby 3.0, and can not be
+uninstalled from a Ruby 3.0 installation.  Before being extracted into a gem,
+`net/imap` was only packaged as a part of Ruby's releases.  The first stable
+release to include `net/imap` was ruby 1.6.2, on 2000-12-25.

 ## Development
 
 After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `bundle exec rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
