Add BcnEng to "Others" section #119

Hi folks,

I wonder if you would like to mention BcnEng in "Others" section. I believe it is an actual source of info for this repository. Also, BcnEng (both staff and users) recommends this repository every time someone asks for a list of companies offering remote full-time.

Feel free to suggest any change on the text I added here BTW. Also to completely discard this PR of course!

@uesteibar @tebs maybe weigh in with your opinion?

I'm of course a fan of BcnEng too, and I would merge the PR anyway but:

Note that #hiring-job-board / remote does not mean that the offer fits here. I have replied to some offers there to confirm whether it was a regular full-time Spanish contract, or the company required being a freelancer, and in many cases, the offer required being a freelancer. This is OK for me, but maybe there's room for improvement.
Also, I've never posted there, but I always have the suspicion that "Barcelona/Remote" vs. "Remote" is not well-defined, and I suspect that some "Barcelona/Remote" offers would fit here. Maybe that's also worth investigating.

In any case, I'll approve this, but for including external sites, I prefer to have "quorum".

I agree that sometimes candidates will need to dig up some of the info. But, looking at the positions posted in the last few days/weeks, we have to acknowledge that it's a good source of remote positions.

FYI, this will eventually move forward.

It has been there for years but we are planning to make it happen soon. As you can see, the new design will allow better visibility for fields such as type of contract, etc.

I think it's very likely that @uesteibar agrees, so I'll merge.

However, one vital purpose of this repo is to help locate remote offers which are not contractor/freelancer. Along with identifying "true" remote among "remote means 2 days in the office/week", my biggest problem when looking for a remote job is that many companies will not hire in Spain, and when hiring in Spain, will require you to become freelancer/autónomo. As this is one of the core benefits of this repo, I think it's fair to clarify this, so I'll push another commit adding a note about this. If the redesign moves forward, then we can amend it easily.

(Although it might seem contradictory to do this- why add a source that really doesn't fit?- BcnEng mandates salary, which I think is a thing that should be incentivized.)

(Note 2: right now, I look at all offers that are posted to BcnEng, check if they fit within this repo, and add the company if they fit. So also adding the link could be considered "redundant". However, BcnEng has the salary informatio, specific offers, etc.)
