Based on recent business meeting and UGM planning discussions, this PR starts making important updates to the UGM event page.

UGM organizers (@hmacdope @orbeckst @IAlibay @jaclark5) and @MDAnalysis/coredevs should please make any additional changes that you see fit. We would like to have a short turnaround on getting this PR merged, such that we can do another advertisement push for the UGM next week (i.e., July 7-11).

It is more likely that code-along workshops will be incorporated throughout this year's UGM, rather than a dedicated hackathon. Until funding is confirmed, do not want to specifically promise social outings.
Matthias's bio is taken from his ASU profile (https://search.asu.edu/profile/3160407); using this bio is pending his approval.
Edited CoC language to reflect recent adoption of NumFOCUS CoC; language was adapted from NumFOCUS's suggested text for events: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wI106TvEeLH1KdFYRrUmMmjz10RAQcX3viYPzulZz-k/edit?usp=sharing.
- rewrote some of the "what to expect", include "master classes" (part of MDA Workshop in program)
- rewrote some of the streaming
- made fee clearer
- fixed (?) link to Lillian's image
- add room information

* Direct access to the [MDAnalysis core developer team][coredev] to help shape future development of MDAnalysis
* Networking opportunities to foster new collaborations
* A hackathon and other social outings
