Change specification source from Respec to Markdown #554

Description

@zimeon

I think we should change the OCFL specifications from Respec to Markdown:

  • In Markdown we'd have better control of formatting and not end up fighting Respec (see issues and PRs)
  • We would immediately solve ocfl_1.0.txt #505 with the ability to add ocfl.md and/or ocfl.html to the Storage Root
  • Compilation with Jekyll is required (a downside) but then we would have a static HTML file that doesn't rely on JavaScript lookups for rendering (a big upside, meaning our spec is preservable)
  • We don't need the "looks like a W3C spec" fake authenticity
