OpenProfile 0.1.1: a DID in the identity block and in Operator (#154)

did:key, did:web and AT Protocol did:plc, kept as written. A DID from a
service that also vouches for agents (CoinPay issues one per account and
lets a person's stand behind an agent's) is how Operator becomes checkable
rather than stated. myna did attaches one.

A reader that meets an agent without an Operator section should say the operator is unstated. Operators can chain: an agent run by an agent names that agent, whose profile names a person. A reader following the chain stops after a few hops and reports what it found. **8.
