[data-shapes] Add sh:subSetOf (similar to sh:equals but for subsets) (#786)

HolgerKnublauch has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes:

== Add sh:subSetOf (similar to sh:equals but for subsets) ==
I think this has some use cases and should be added for completeness given that we already have sh:equals and sh:disjoint.

https://datashapes.org/constraints.html#SubSetOfConstraintComponent

It is a bit similar to rdfs:subPropertyOf, but as a constraint.

Now that we allow path expressions on both sides, it can be used to ensure constraints between linked objects.

Any concerns?
