Author List and Contributing Guidelines

[zachcran]

Is this pull request associated with an issue(s)? Based on a suggestion in #82 to add a developer list in the documentation website. Closes #85.

Description Adds an author list and contributing guidelines that are readily available from both the source code and documentation website. These are based on the template files generated by PyScaffold, a Python project generator that also uses Sphinx to generate documentation.

TODOs

• [x] Check for author list generation CI.
• [x] Create initial author list.
• [x] Potentially add contributions to author list.
• [x] Point to CMakePP contributing guide. Depends on CMakePP .github PR 24.
• [x] Display LICENSE file contents on documentation website.

@ryanmrichard I think this is ready for an initial review. Let me know if you like the direction it is moving in.

@ryanmrichard If we continue with adding contribution bullet points to the author list, I don't think a GitHub action will be able to adequately generate an author list. We might as well do it manually and just have new contributors add their name to the list if they want.

Yeah short of some magical natural language processing action, I think this has to be done manually.
