DM-36808: Add citation information

Checklist

• ran Jenkins
• added a release note for user-visible changes to doc/changes

I think the commonly accepted paradigm is to say something like "If you use this software, please cite it using this metadata." so that you don't have to update the link twice (here in the message and later in the preferred-citation).

[timj]

Yes, although I was worried that might lead to an attempt to cite the software itself which doesn't have a DOI or ASCL ID and so thought I should be explicit.

For the first attempt GitHub seems to generate a bibtex entry of:

@article{Jenness_The_Vera_C,
author = {Jenness, Tim and Bosch, James F. and Salnikov, Andrei and Lust, Nate B. and Pease, Nathan M. and Gower, Michelle and Kowalik, Mikolaj and Dubois-Felsmann, Gregory P. and Mueller, Fritz and Schellart, Pim},
title = {{The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Butler and pipeline execution system}}
}

which unfortunately lacks the DOI information so I must have got that wrong somewhere.
