Summary

Adds an "Identifier Relations" section to the library API reference: the relation predicate table (supplement_of? … related_to?) and the pubid#449 rulings — the supplement year is identity-bearing, composites of one base document are editions of each other, and a composite with its bare base forms a supersession series rather than an edition-year relationship.

Mirrors the docs/API.md section added in pubid/pubid#451.

Documents the relation predicates and the #449 rulings: the supplement
year is identity-bearing, composites of one base document are editions
of each other, and a composite with its bare base forms a supersession
series rather than an edition-year relationship.
A prose-only explanation of how identifiers relate: documents and
editions, supplements that stay current alongside their base, the
composite as a state of the document, the supplement year as
identity-bearing, consolidated composites as editions of the
consolidated document, and why a supersession series is not an edition
chain. Linked from the PubID Algebra and Relationships pages and added
to the concepts index and sidebar.
