Start using Decision Records

[ian-noaa]

This PR adopts decision records for this project. A distinction is made between "architectural" (decisions on software & infrastructure patterns & use) and "scientific" (decisions on how to calculate and handle data) records.

I've also added issue templates and automation so that we can create our ADR/SDR's in GitHub Issues, then add the "accepted" label and close them for them to be integrated into the repo.

Ideally, after this PR is merged, we will be able to have automation take care of ADR/SDR filenames and formatting.
