Moves Compact Refract to separate file

[smizell]

This moves Compact Refract out of the base spec to its own spec. Note that this does in a sense break the spec, but it also simplifies that clients do not need to support it to support the base spec. This is the reason for bumping the version number.

Another thing to note is that I have not defined all primitive elements here. For one, I’m trying to work through this quickly and I want to consider this to be a serialization format and not defining a specific structure like the base spec does.

[smizell]

See #55 as accompanying issue.

Both this PR and https://github.com/refractproject/refract-spec/pull/52/files#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8R14 changes version to 0.7.0.

I think these PRs shouldn't change the version number. Instead once both have been merged, there should be a separate release PR (once we deem ready for release, perhaps other upcoming changes can make it into this release too).

[smizell]

Agreed. I'll change.

[danielgtaylor]

Is this required here? We don't define Element Pointer or string here either since it's in the base spec, I assume.

[smizell]

Unfortunately, I think so unless we use the base spec's serialization format.

["foo", 
  {
    "links":[
      {
        "element": "link",
        "attributes": {
          "relateion": "bar",
          "href": "/something/1"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  {},
  "bar"
]

Why is this in two lines?

80 cols per a line I guess

My editor splits it automatically 80 characters. I can change back.

+# Compact Refract
+
+Compact Refract is a serialization format Refract for the purpose of removing a
+lot of the object keys that are repeated throughout the full serialization of
+Refract, as seen in the Refract specification. It also allows for expressing
+structures in a tuple, which resembles other formats like XML or Lisp.
