[Oslc-Automation] Changes I have made to Actions specs based on Actions issues list

[Martin P Pain]

ISSUE-12: oslc:binding now has a cardinality of zero-or-many, but there 
are two comments about how it would be meaningless to supply zero bindings 
for an action linked to by the oslc:action predicate (which is intended to 
link to currently-executable actions, and one with no bindings is not 
executable):

ISSUE-14: I have removed normative text from the execution instructions 
for the interaction patterns, instead making them simple statements of 
what it means to execute this interaction pattern. (This makes it easier 
for the deferred execution dialog interaction pattern to modify how other 
interaction patterns work when used with it).

ISSUE-17: I have added notes about using oslc:usage oslc:default on 
bindings:

http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Exposing-arbitrary-actions-on-RDF-resources/#Interaction-patterns
(Reviews of the wording I have used would be appreciated)

* I have made minor changes to the "OSLC Actions and Automation" section 
in the Automation spec (linking to "Deciding how to use actions & 
automation together" from the first section, and adding 
"currently-available" to one of the early paragraphs).

* I have added a section on Actions to the Automation primer, giving 
readers a single list of links to help guide their reading of the material 
available on Actions.

Issues remaining:
ISSUE-9: Decode on Action types (active mailing list thread on one of 
these)
ISSUE-10: Examples (partially depends on ISSUE-9 being resolved)
