Adopted Strategic Goals, wording tweaks. Fixes #19. #20

Avneesh and Tzviya have agreed the Strategic Goals should be managed here, so I pulled them in. We can now work on wordsmithing them here, through issues and PRs.

@michaelchampion I moved your comments to a different issue so we don't lose them.

OK, @tantek I think I've addressed your issues. I pulled the Brand identity out as a separate section for now. We may want to elide it or move to another doc, but I didn't want to delete it yet.

Would like to remind to add some principles that we discussed in our last call:

I also went through patch at https://github.com/WebStandardsFuture/Vision/tree/patch

@tantek, you're right that I should have put the centralization bit in prior to this PR; It is a line from what got moved into the history, that I forgot to move into the principles first.. For hygiene I will move it to a separate PR; however, 1) I feel strongly about having a principle of not encouraging centralization, and 2) though I understand the hesitancy to have a "negative" goal, it is appropriate. We need to prevent something happening; I do NOT think we should be responsible for actively DEcentralizing, either. We can wordsmith, but the goal remains to guard against centralization becoming core to the Web.

I don't want to remove the "Identity" to a separate PR, because that was content that was in the goals doc that I'm integrating. I am happy to have further wordsmithing.

@avneeshsingh I've added "* Ensure transparency, equity and fairness. Our work should not be exclusively dominated by any particular person, company or interest group." to the principles.

I've moved "* Encourage incubation in new areas and industries with open platforms for discussion, collaboration and innovation" to the purpose, which I still think is appropriate. (Incubation is in the goals too.)

I'll leave combining goals to a further wordsmithing round. I really want to land this PR.
