This adds two popular citation metadata formats, based on the templates offered by the Astrophysics Source Code Library, see recent entry added for sbi at https://ascl.net/2306.002 (https://ascl.net/2306.002/CITATION.cff, https://ascl.net/2306.002/codemeta.json).
These citation files pertain to the software, but they encourage to cite the paper. There are best practices about citing the software directly that result in nuances in these files (e.g. use of 'preferred citation') that I have not investigated.
The paper citations are encouraged to occur not via the ASCL or the JOSS URLs but as advised by ASCL engineer Alice Allen through the DOI resolver URL.
Finally, note that this PR does not deal with CI updates to this metadata (notably concerning version numbers and release dates). See
