Adding guide update to avoid profanity

Craig Norris requested to merge docs-avoid-profanity into master

What does this MR do?

In the Language to Avoid section of the Style Guide, this MR adds the guide directive to avoid the use of profanity in the product documentation. It's more of a "don't do this thing you should already know to not do" thing, but it's worth stating if we're to have a complete sense of coverage for the guide, and it could enable automation for the directive.
