  1. Clarify that CONSISTENT_SNAPSHOT is optional 

    From chapter 7 in the spec (version 1.0.17):
"Finally, the root metadata should write the Boolean
"consistent_snapshot" attribute at the root level of its keys of
attributes.
If consistent snapshots are not written by the repository,
then the attribute may either be left unspecified or be set to the
False value. Otherwise, it must be set to the True value."

The above implies that there could be repositories with root metadata
without CONSISTENT_SNAPSHOT.
Clarify that, but phrase it to make it clear this should be included
in new implementations.
