Add contributor's funding acknowledgements (automatically)

[besteves4]

Hi,

Besides, the acknowledgements already included for my contributions to DPV, I also need to add the following:

Beatriz Esteves has received funding from the INESData project - Infrastructure to Investigate Data Spaces in Distributed Environments at UPM, (TSI-063100-2022-0001), a project funded under the UNICO I+D CLOUD call by the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, in the framework of the recovery plan PRTR financed by the European Union (NextGenerationEU).

I think we should also add funding acknowledgements to the contributors' metadata file at https://github.com/w3c/dpv/blob/dev/code/contributors.json to keep everything in the same place in a way that is easier for the contributors to update whenever needed.

Thank you, I propose the following:

"Beatriz Esteves": {
    "affiliation": "IDLab, IMEC, Ghent University",
    "ORCID": "0000-0003-0259-7560",
    "website": "https://w3id.org/people/besteves",
    "funding": [
        {
            "forDPV": true,
            "key": "INESData",
            "statement": "INESData project - Infrastructure to ... (NextGenerationEU)"
        },
        {
            "forDPV": false,
            "key": "PROTECT",
            "statement": "..."
        }
    ]
}

Since there are cases where multiple contributors may belong to the same project or funding source, we want to summarise their involvement and funding attributions. The above structure works in the following manner:

1. funding is a list of funding sources for the person
2. forDPV=true indicates that the person was funded explicitly to work on DPV, and therefore should be mentioned in the first set of funding acks e.g. Work on DPV has been funded by <project>. Examples of this are my Government of Ireland postdoc fellowship and RECITALS Horizon project funding which explicitly states it will fund DPVCG work.
3. forDPV=false means the person received the funding but not explicitly for DPV. This will be mentioned in the second of funding acks e.g. was funded by .
4. key allows combining multiple contributors in the same funding call, e.g. and were funded by

I checked the implementation code for this, and it looks to be feasible. At the moment, funding is manually added to each template while contributors are extracted and listed automatically. Using the above JSON structure, we can also automate the funding acks generation.

ISSUE: if the person's funding changes across versions, e.g. v2.0 = PROTECT, v2.3 = INESData, and the person contributes in v2.0 but not in v2.3, the person's new funding should not be mentioned. So how to only add funding when the person is involved in "new" work is something I am unclear about.
