As I suggested in #164.

The extensibility requirements might arguably apply to our other JSON types as well (like annotations, which were recently DRYed up in #501). The new extensibility section sets the stage for that, but I've left the other types off this commit to focus on making the current requirements more DRY without changing the specified behavior.

My personal preference would be to have separate canonicalization.md and a (very short) extensibility.md file, but @jonboulle wanted the single file.

This PR is a resubmission of #340 after rebasing around the just-landed #501 (as requested by @stevvooe).

As I suggested in the PR landing these blocks [1,2,3].  I've shifted
the extensibility section to a separate considerations.md, since it's
a generic policy that applies to both our manifest and manifest-list.

types as well (like annotations, which were recently DRYed up in
f15a268, annotations: make a designated doc and DRY a bit, 2016-12-15,
