Add `CITATION.cff` metadata file for referencing CFA standalone #51

Closed sadielbartholomew closed 6 months ago

Add CITATION.cff metadata file, which is a relatively-new standard for providing means to cite a repository.

Though the intention is to get CFA incorporated into the CF Conventions, with community approval and a PR in preparation at this stage, we agreed it would be useful to also enable citation of CFA on its own (e.g. because there won't be a specific chapter/section in the CF Conventions document dedicated to CFA, it will be referenced instead here and there as relevant), and this file will allow one to do so.

@davidhassell and any other reviewers, please note:

and feel free to suggest any changes e.g. different keywords and abstract.

Oh and I checked about how to best deal with authors with multiple affiliations, but it looks like that hasn't been decided yet and the value can just be a string, hence I just used 'and' (old school!).

Thanks for reviewing, David. Merging...
