Add citation.cff file for better Zenodo archiving metadata information

[jfy133]

I added basic information taken from a mixture of the GitHub page and gensc website and put in both a citation.cff and .zenodo.json file.

The .zenodo.json attributes are based on this Zenodo documentation page.

Notes:

• I have put the version as 7.0.0 as the upcoming release version, but I wonder if we should have a dev suffix or similar until the release itself
• If we keep the version in the file(s), we should make sure include the update of this file in the release procedure (automation is probably possible).
• I put the author as a generic consortium name as the default
• We should discuss if we should add specific people too (i.e., everyone who has committed to the repository plus the general consortium), as this allows linking with ORCIDs etc for more contribution tracking (particularly useful for younger researchers)

Hi @jfy133! I've integrated your work from this PR into PR #1088 (Release v6.2.2) with a few reconciliations:

• Used your expanded contributor list (16 people + GSC)
• Adopted your approach of removing affiliations (ORCID profiles are authoritative)
• Fixed ORCID formats per spec:
  • CITATION.cff: full URLs (https://orcid.org/...) per CFF spec
  • .zenodo.json: ID only (0000-...) per Zenodo spec
• Fixed Sierra Moxon's ORCID (was accidentally duplicated)
• Added the nbt.1823 reference (MIMARKS/MIxS paper)
• Fixed JSON syntax issues

Thanks for the groundwork! Should you or I keep working on this PR, or is PR #1088 OK with you?
