Add CODEOWNERS designating @ryanhill1

[ryanhill1]

Adds a CODEOWNERS file designating @ryanhill1 as code owner, matching the
convention already used in qBraid/qBraid and qBraid/pyqasm.

Two of the four core repositories declare code ownership and two do not. This
closes half of that gap; a companion PR does the same for qbraid-qir.

Note that adding the file does not by itself require code owner review on pull
requests — that is a separate branch protection setting (require_code_owner_reviews),
currently off in all four repositories. This PR only declares ownership.

Fixed. The header was wrong on all three points, so it is rewritten rather than patched.

CODEOWNERS routes review requests and grants no permissions. Whether an owner's approval gates a merge depends on a branch protection rule or ruleset enabling "require review from Code Owners"; the ability to merge at all comes from the user's repository role. And the pattern is *, which matches every path in the repository, not a directory.

Worth recording since it is easy to assume the opposite from the old wording: code-owner review is enforced on this repo, but through the active main ruleset (require_code_owner_review: true), not through classic branch protection — require_code_owner_reviews is unset there. I kept the comment general rather than naming the ruleset, so it does not go stale if that configuration changes.

Comment-only change; the * @ryanhill1 rule is untouched, and GitHub's CODEOWNERS validation reports no errors on the branch.
