[swift-evolution] [Meta] Proposal status page

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

I got sidetracked today and mocked up a proposal "status page":

    http://jtbandes.github.io/swift-evolution/

This moves the proposal status info (currently in README.md) into a
separate "source of truth":

    https://github.com/jtbandes/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals.xml

The status page is then generated from the source of truth using XSLT.
Unfortunately, in order to get this working on GitHub Pages, I had to load
the files using JavaScript (otherwise the browser blocks the cross-origin
requests):
https://github.com/jtbandes/swift-evolution/blob/gh-pages/index.html.


If we wanted to adopt this for the official swift-evolution repo, the steps
would be:

    1. push the XML and XSL files to master

    2. push a gh-pages branch with the status page

    3. update README.md on master to point to the status page, rather than
duplicating all the information.


Thoughts? Tweaks? Insults?
