Re: Additional editorial updates to address LC-2506

I agree which is why I flagged it.

The 2.0 note in 7.3 The RetrievalMethod Element  says:

[[
In XML Signature 2.0, Transforms are not allowed in RetrievalMethod. Use of dsig11:KeyInfoReference is encouraged instead, see section 7.10 The dsig11:KeyInfoReference Element<http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-20/#sec-KeyInfoReference>.
]]

We should disallow RetrievalMethod completely in 2.0 in non-compatibility mode.

No change was needed for 2.0 as it already has similar text, and also
disallows Transform child within RetrievalMethod (though I'm not sure why
RetrievalMethod isn't disallowed in non-compatibility mode)

Did we actually disallow that? If we did, the element is close to useless,
so we might as well just make it a MUST NOT. At the very least, it's going
to confuse things.
