updated DAWG test suite - tests for REDUCED - soliciting updated results

Hi everyone,

The DAWG has updated its test suite with two syntax tests and two 
evaluation tests for the REDUCED keyword. We'd like to ask that 
implementors submit updated EARL results for the test suite at their 
earliest convenience, in an effort to demonstrate implementations of 
REDUCED.

Note that evaluating whether an implementation passes a REDUCED test is 
a bit different from other tests: for these tests, a test harness must 
check that the correct results are generated, but the cardinalities of 
the produced results need not match those of the expected results in the 
test suite. For each solution that appears N times in the expected 
results, the implementation must produce the solution between 1 and N 
times (inclusive). The manifests use a new predicate and object to 
indicate the tests that use these "lax cardinality" semantics.

The test README and overview have both been updated with information 
about these tests, as has the test-manifest.n3 namespace document. The 
test suite archives have also been updated.
