Define jqlang/jq <-> stedolan/jq relationship #2594

Description

@nicowilliams

Prior to @stedolan accepting the ownership invitation my plan had been to set up a mirror from jqlang/jq -> stedolan/jq and then ask users to create issues/PRs against jqlang/jq. Now that @stedolan is here perhaps Stephen can tell us what he'd like to see going forward.

My own preference is still for stedolan/jq to be the canonical home of jq -at least for the wiki, the docs, the source code (with a mirroring setup), and GitHub releases made via GitHub Actions in jqlang/jq- but moving issues and PRs to jqlang/jq. I'd also like to accept help in constructing a language specification under jqlang/spec.

As a reminder, the motivation for creating the jqlang org was that the existing maintainers ran out of energy and became non-responsive (myself included, sadly) and there was no way for us to add maintainers to a personal project that none of us owned. To that end, besides creating jqlang I've recruited (with others' help) a number of new maintainers who will hopefully be able to help weed through a bunch of PRs and make releases.
