The core schema is now also served as json-ld by content negotiation,
thanks to Markus Lanthaler for doing the conversion and helping debug
during the inevitable "swearing at Apache configuration files" session
that such things necessitate. The context file also now has a JSON-LD
media type btw.

 curl -H "Accept: application/ld+json" http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/

At some point we should automate the generation of this, but FOAF
isn't changing very fast so I think we're good for now. Let's link the
files visibly from the FOAF spec next time it gets a revision...
