Add round to Sport-Events-element #40

There is a need for adding attribute round to sport-events.

Usage: When you are creating a single file of a result or match facts from a tournament, but do not want to model the complete tournament structure.

Use cases: Skiing results (World Cup rounds) where you don't want to use tournament structure Soccer match facts / results (national leagues) where you don't want or cannot use tournament structure. Olympic Games ....

Updated by Paul Kelly 15 days ago Kinda difficult now we don't have specific round or stage elements. What would we call the attribute? Clients tend to refer the event-key to another doc that has the tournament structure.

Updated by Johan Lindgren about 7 hours ago All events in a series belong to a specific round. Games can be postponed and played at a later date but still belong to the round they had initially. Typically in each round in football in a league all teams play one game. Either home or away. And all thoose games belong to the same round. Useful if you have the games reported individually and need to group them for standings calculation etc.

I suggest we add an attribute to the event-metadata called "round-number" and declare it as non-negative and optional.

Johan fixed this in commit 086ca9b in June 2017.
