Add the MLM form reference

🚀 Feature Request

The MLM form (https://mlm-form.vercel.app/) is a user-friendly way to generate a STAC MLM definition.

It should be added as reference (README.md and CITATION.cff) to guide users that could employ it.

What's the value of adding it to CITATION.cff? Does it make it more discoverable? I don't mind if anyone does or does not cite their use of the form. Agree on adding it to the README.

Also I think the CITATION.cff isn't getting parsed correctly: https://github.com/stac-extensions/mlm/blob/main/CITATION.cff

I checked and it is valid according to this schema, maybe github uses a different version

→ cffconvert --validate    
Citation metadata are valid according to schema version 1.2.0.

Yes, it makes it more discoverable.

Also, when go to https://github.com/stac-extensions/mlm/blob/main/CITATION.cff, GitHub can offer a quick export reference utility, and those can be cross-referenced by users in publications.

For now there is a parsing issue, but I already raised the issue on citation-file-format/ruby-cff#130 and there should be a fix soon.
