Add a GitHub Actions workflow for automatic validation of the citatio…

…n metadata file (`CITATION.CFF`) (#44062)

Hello!

We noticed that your `CITATION.cff` had a small issue and fixed it.

In addition to the fix, this Pull Request automates validation of that
file using the [cffconvert GitHub
Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/cffconvert). That way,
it's a little bit easier to be robust against future changes to the
`CITATION.cff` file.

BTW it's perfectly fine if you don't feel like accepting this Pull
Request for whatever reason -- we just thought it might be helpful is
all.

We found your repository using a partially automated workflow; if you
have any questions about that, feel free to create an issue over at
https://github.com/cffbots/filtering/issues/

On behalf of the cffbots team,
