New draft XProc 2.0 spec

Hello folks,

Following the editing efforts that Alex and I put in over the last
couple of days at TPAC and with the WG's consent, we have adopted five
proposals as part of the new status quo draft:

Norm attempted to address:

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/29

       2.2 Integrate non-XML documents into pipelines

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/46

       3.2 Associate arbitrary metadata with documents

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/33

       2.6 Allow attribute value templates

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/39

       2.7.6 Syntax: allow curly brace expansion in p:inline

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/84

       add <p:option name="version"/> for p:xquery

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/83

       add <p:option name="version"/> for p:validate-with-xml-schema

Alex attempted to address

    https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/67

       Editorialize the term "connection"

Alex also incorporated updates with respect to parameters as options.
