Specification

This is a first draft of applying the changes prescribed by BIP 3 in the section Updates to Existing BIPs should this BIP be Activated.

It also updates the CI-scripts to align with the new formatting.

Resolved:

[x] @real-or-random’s proposal to update the Licensing scheme
[x] Enforce order of headers in Preamble and fix order in BIPs that don’t conform

Planned for follow-up or parallel PRs:

[ ] Evaluate Informational BIPs regarding update to Specification type
[ ] BIPs that have had Draft status for extended periods will be moved to Complete or Deployed as applicable in collaboration with their authors.
[ ] The authors of incomplete Draft BIPs will be contacted to learn whether the BIPs are still in progress toward Complete, and will otherwise be updated to Closed as described in the Workflow section above.
[ ] Make changes or remove non-existent BIPs 40, 41, and 63 (breaks CI)
