The ReSpec upgrade comes with 5 new configuration options.

Generic option:
* wgPatentPolicy: which patent policy the group operates under, PP2017
or PP2020 - between now and January, most groups are expected to migrate
to PP2020. If you're using the "group" configuration option, this is set
automatically for you
  https://github.com/w3c/respec/wiki/group

Living standard option:
* lsMode: if you expect your spec to be a living standard in CR (rather
than targeting Recommendation status), set this option to true and it
will adapt the SOTD accordingly

Rec-specific options:
* revisionTypes: in Process 2020, Recommendations can be published with
two types of substantive updates: corrections and additions;
revisionTypes is an array that can take "correction" and/or "addition"
values to mark a given Rec as having these types of revisions
* updateableRec: in Process 2020, starting from Proposed Rec, a spec
needs to be marked as updateable to allow for future in-line updates to
the Rec; this configuration option needs to be set to true to trigger
the right wording in the SOTD
* revisedRecEnd: when a Rec gets in-line normative updates, it needs to
be approved by the Advisory Committee during a 4 weeks review - this
configuration option defines the deadline of that review (using the
usual YYYY-MM-VV format)


Since bikeshed for the most part doesn't manage SOTDs, the equivalent
wording changes there will have to be handled manually by the groups;
the bikeshed upgrade does contain a new requirement to set the new
implementationReport metadata key from CR onwards.
