This creates a new way to curate the results of a crawl: a freeze patch allows to freeze the results of a crawl to a specific commit ID in Webref. This is meant for specs that are temporarily broken beyond repair.
First such patch is for the filter-effects-1 spec.
Each freeze patch is implemented as a JSON file named after the spec's shortname and that contains the commit ID and a
pending
key that links to the issue that tracks the problem in some GitHub repository. Theclean-patches
script proposes to drop the patch when the issue gets closed.
