Add examples, move Appendix A contents to section 3 -- .well-known is being used below / #315

See today's thread on gen-art about this.

The answer to:

Why aren't per-directory well-known locations defined?

Given in Appendix A could be moved into Section 3.

  Allowing every URI path segment to have a well-known location
  (e.g., "/images/.well-known/") would increase the risks of
  colliding with a preexisting URI on a site, and generally these
  solutions are found not to scale well because they're too
  "chatty".

An example like https://foo.example/.well-known/fooapp/baz.example/stuff, making it extra clear that well-known names are namespaces, and showing how to use them for multi-tenancy, would help.

This is not urgent. Perhaps instructions to Expert Reviewers will suffice until there is more reason to update RFC 8615.
