Add CITATION.cff file

[schnickalodeon]

It would be nice, if you could add a CITATION.cff file to your repo. So other people can easyly cite your repo in their publications :)

Not being in academia myself, I don't see that much value in such a file (finding the project name, authors and repository URL and putting those together isn't exactly difficult to do after all), but if it's generally useful to people, then why not.

The one thing I as a project maintainer find to be a bit of a hassle is the inclusion of fields like version or date-released (or, even worse, commit); those would have to be kept up-to-date every time we do a release, so there's a wee little extra maintenance work (and I don't think it's worth automating upfront, even though that could be done e.g. with a custom GitHub Action).

I'd suggest we wait for some more reactions (upvotes, downvotes, further opinions) to this request.
