JSONPath is an RFC now

[dret]

Describe the bug

Documentation should be updated regarding JSONPath status. It is RFC 9535 now.

This is potentially dependent on JSONPath-plus having support for RFC 9535 (JSONPath-Plus/JSONPath#205) or changing the implementation of spectral to use another library.

Good point, I was naively assuming that JSONPath-plus is an implementation of RFC 9535 but it is not. My apologies for the confusion. I am updating my PR to state that even though Spectral supports JSONPath, it is not the language that's standardized in the RFC of the same name.

Some interesting context about the slightly confusing history and evolution of the specification and implementations: P0lip/nimma#10
