Errata and boilerplate with reverted submodule

[gkellogg]

This is the same as #7, but reverts adding the submodule using saved copies from https://github.com/w3c/rdf-common. In the GH Action, the submodule is added and the contents compared, which will fail if the local copy is not the same as that in the rdf-common repo.

GitHack-based preview.

If you don't have enough information above to solve the error by yourself (or to understand to which web service the error is related to, if any), please file an issue.

(Of course, this fails due to the unavailability of respec.org, which is used in the ReSpec API).

[gkellogg]

@afs @pchampin please consider changes to auto-publish.yml for alternative to using submodule. Still uses it for comparison in GH Action.

[gkellogg]

W3C Infrastructure having some problems, so Spec Generator is down right now, preventing investigation of what led to the PR Preview failure.

@pchampin @TallTed I'd like to merge this and defer the issues raised in #7 (comment). @TallTed perhaps you can create an issue that captures your concerns and we can tag in the text for future consideration, but it is a meta-issue, as it affects numerous other specs.

Note that the changes for dealing with spec/common will need to be replicated in other specs, which is a bit painful, but needs to be done.
