    Issue #3990: make the status of the XCF docs a bit clearer (hopefully).
    
    Though it may have started as an unofficial document, it is clearly now
    an official one (which should be obvious since it is in our source
    repository, but apparently some people get misled by the historical
    "Status" text to think this to be somehow unofficial).
    So first of all, change the s/official/unofficial/ mention.
    
    Secondly, add a small paragraph explicitly telling that the document is
    complete (and meant to be), to the best of our knowledge. This document
    is a detailed, full and exhaustive written "specification" of the XCF
    format up to GIMP 2.10.x (even though the normative spec is still the
    code itself). Now we are humans, we may have missed something, and if
    so, this is just to be considered as any other bug, and reported to us
    nicely to be fixed.

 Some of the normative statements made below are enforced by the XCF
 code in GIMP; others are just the authors' informed guess about
 "best practices" that would be likely to maximize interoperability
 with future versions of GIMP.
