Consider adding more context for citation formatting #71

One comment re: wording [for citation guidance] to perhaps consider: That we generally want to ask people to cite both software and paper (if there is a paper) is an institutional practice we chose. But prioritizing the paper citation can also be a choice, which can result in actually wanting the paper citation to show up on the sidebar on GitHub (and perhaps including the code citation BibTeX in the README instead).

I don't have a good suggestion for how to convey this being a choice when instantiating the template, and of course there are a variety of reasons why code as a first-class citizen in citation networks should be promoted. So maybe this is best deferred to considering at a later time.

We may consider including more context in a collapsible box/admonition for those interested in deciding between the two options. The preferred option is still to have a code citation and ask for paper citation in the README.
