Include a reference to RFC 2119 #565

Description

@andylolz

The IATI Standard uses the capitalised keywords "MUST", "SHOULD" etc throughout, but I don’t think it explicitly references RFC 2119 (where these keywords are defined).

RFC 2119 recommends the following:

Authors who follow these guidelines should incorporate this phrase near the beginning of their document:

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL
NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
RFC 2119.

It would be good to add this.
