Add a note about `pcall` - really the C limit is universal but it will most often be hit during either pcall or coroutine.resume.

HATRA '21 paper corrections (#57)
A large number of changes to the HATRA '21 position paper. We've abandoned the 4pp limit, which allows us to add more detail to some sections, and use more appropriate wording throughout the paper. A rough changelog:

* Numerous wording tweaks
* Removed `\cite{???}`
* Added type inference section
* Introduction beefed up
* Abstract slightly tweaked

Add RFC status fields (#39)
It seems more consistent and unambiguous if we mark RFCs as being
implemented when the implementation lands instead of expecting to
cross-reference documentation. That also makes it easier for us to flag
stale RFCs.

Delete assert-return RFC
(this analysis should have been done before the RFC but the thought never crossed my mind)

There's 63K assertions in all luarocks repositories combined. Out of this, around ~600 assertions would be broken as a result of this change. This is ~1% which is pretty uncomfortable (I was hoping for a couple of odd unit tests) - as such this RFC is going to get closed. We will maintain the current behavior of assert and try to adapt type checker to be reasonably useful instead.

The common thread between all of these cases (many of them target custom APIs although some target core APIs like string.match) is that assert is used together with a function that either returns nil (for errors), or multiple arguments. Under these conditions multi-arg assert is useful.

A couple examples:

```
out_r, out_w = assert(unix.pipe())
local header, body = assert(data:match "(.-\r\n)\r\n(.*)")
local z85_secret_key, z85_public_key = assert(zmq.curve_keypair())
local _, r = assert(coroutine.resume(co, msg))
```
