Reword self-asserted VC in VP text to remove MUST.

[BigBlueHat]

The original statement was found to be untestable. This new text provides explanatory text instead.

NOTE: the goal of this change is to avoid this text being "at risk" while keeping the intention of the text.

@jandrieu I believe this was originally your text, so please let us know if you're OK with this change.

Thanks!

1.2. Reword self-asserted VC in VP text to remove MUST. (pr vc-data-model#1580)

See github pull request vc-data-model#1580.

Brent Zundel: This rewords the self asserted VP test to remove the MUST. The test suite determined that this statement was untestable.
… This is a normative change that fixes a bug. Has lots of approval, expect it to be merged after review time passed.

Manu Sporny: process question for ivan, this has been determined unimplementable even though it is normative. Is this change going to be okay.

Ivan Herman: yep should be fine.
… I don't think the normative label on the PR is justified. It isnt changing a feature it makes things more precicse.

Manu Sporny: I can change to editorial.
