Document process history

[MarcosSueiro]

• AES X098C (some unofficial, possibly unrelated documentation here) is the draft standard that Kaylie Ackerman at Harvard developed
• PREMIS may be the best option. Its events list includes creation, modification, metadata modification... I think BWFME should automate this, while humans could keep using CodingHistory for details. I don't love the idea of modifying the CodingHistory since its grammar is already pretty awkward to casual users.
• Example of Audition process history in --where else?-- the XMP chunk below. It only seems to list when the file was saved (I modified the file quite a bit).
