Re: ACTION-2195: Spec up instance fallback

The following text replaces the paragraph in "5.2.2 Creating instance data  
 from external resources"
https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/wiki/XForms_2.0#Creating_instance_data_from_external_resources
that begins "If the initial instance data is given by a link (from src or  
resource), and the link cannot be traversed":

===

If the link to the external data cannot be traversed, or it can be  
traversed, but an XPath data model cannot be created from the resource:

- If the link is specified by the src attribute, and the instance has  
inline content, that inline content is used to create the instance data,  
and an xforms-instance-fallback notification event with a resource-uri of  
the link that failed is dispatched to the containing model;
- otherwise, the instance data is formed by creating an XPath data model  
consisting of a single document node without a root element, and an  
xforms-link-error event with a resource-uri of the link that failed is  
dispatched to the containing model. If the event is not canceled,  
processing halts (this is the default action of the xforms-link-error  
event); if it is canceled, processing continues.

===

This uses a new notification event xforms-instance-fallback.
