This PR closes #192 "Add severity levels that are not violations". It contains the following changes:

- Adds `sh:Trace` and `sh:Debug` severity levels that aren't violations.
- Allows validation engines to treat `sh:Info` and `sh:Warning` as non-violating.
- Changes the definition of `sh:conforms` of being true when there are no results to being true if there are no results with a severity level that is a violation.

A rule based on RDF classes for sh:conforms would have been preferred, but since it's possible to dynamically set sh:Info and sh:Warning being a violation, that is not possible.

Allowing validation engines to treat levels as non-violating but keeping the default makes this a non-breaking change.
