Proposal to create a suite per major section of the spec

[Orie Steele]

This will reduce conflicts and improve codeownership, it will also enable better testing in isolation, which should make it easier to work on tests.

@msporny Similar reasoning for assigning you this as we had for #49... make sure to delegate if its not achievable.

[Markus Sabadello]

+1 to creating a separate suite for each major section.

[Manu Sporny]

I have raised PR #52 to do this. Please review and see if the refactoring works for everyone. It's not entirely split on section... some of the stuff was dicey, like the metadata structure... but the rest is split on section.

7.3. Proposal to create a suite per major section of the spec

See github issue did-test-suite#50.

Markus Sabadello: relatively simple
… internal restructuring to organise the test suite into multiple suites which each contain tests related to one section
… in the initial draft of the test suite we had one suite which contained a huge list of tests
… this is a way of dividing and structuring the test suite a bit better
… will result in better reports

Daniel Burnett: also editorial
