This PR introduces Interledger RFC Proposals, which are a new type of RFC document meant to improve the submission and editing process surrounding ILP RFCs.

A Proposal is a new RFC classification with minimal requirements (only style and applicability conformance) that allows contributors to have a PR committed early in the process. This allows comments and questions to be made on the proposal on a per-PR basis as opposed to having many comments/questions in a single PR that might never get merged.

For example, PR #536 had lots of community feedback (Questions, comments, suggestions) but the conversation became difficult to follow, and the specification became difficult to edit or even load.

Likewise, PR #531 had many comments, but was also neither ratified nor formally rejected, which contributes to ambiguity in the RFC process.

This PR seeks to alleviate some of these problems by introducing a new category of RFC that sits before the "Working Draft" in the current process, as well as a more formal process for rejecting an RFC.

* Update how to contribute an RFC.
* Add new folders for RFC organization.

I like this idea, seems more in the spirit of RFCs as Requests For Comments
