[GRASS-PSC] Proposal: Display GRASS DOI icon on project webpage

[Veronica Andreo]

Hi Peter,

I like the proposal, thanks!

Where in our website would you suggest to include the DOI badge? Our
landing page is already a bit stuffed. This could be an option
https://grass.osgeo.org/about/license/ as there's the citation there. What
do you think?
