Make it clear that the reference isn't normative
Any time someone edits the reference, it has to be taken very seriously, since it's the closest thing we have to a specification. This commit adds language which indicates that this is not a normative document, which makes it easier to make tweaks without worrying about forever harming the future of Rust by painting ourselves in a corner.
