Draft Explainers for the upcoming specs

Hello all,

I've put first drafts of the explainers for the three previously-discussed
upcoming specs in Adapt's repo, in the following locations. Visiting these
links will give you a nice HTML version of the Markdown. I'm glad to be able
to show these to you; thanks for your patience whilst I was working on these
early drafts.

* The main well-known destinations/information architecture one:
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/blob/add-explainers/explainers/well-known-desti
nations.md

* Accessibility statement metadata/schema:
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/blob/add-explainers/explainers/accessibility-me
ta.md

* Accessibility reporting:
https://github.com/w3c/adapt/blob/add-explainers/explainers/accessibility-re
porting.md

Some notes:

* I've used the TAG's explainer template for these. (More info, and a link
to the template, can be found at <https://tag.w3.org/explainers/>).

* We are looking forward to welcoming many authors on board, for both the
specs and the Explainers. We'll use standard procedure of identifying
authors via significant PRs (and thus the lists of authors will be separate
for each document). Looking forward to working with you!

* I'm not too happy with the name of the main well-known one (because it
seems a little too implementation-dependent, though I accept it's nicely
concise) - we should discuss this (and other stuff) before merging this
branch into main. I have not even made a PR yet; this is just a rough first
pass (that will eventually become a PR onto `main`, I expect).

Looking forward to discussing on our upcoming call(s) - and to working on
the specs themselves and having drafts of those for you to review soon.
Exciting stuff!

best regards,
