A registry of packaging formats that can be referenced from the object version content or from object version properties to document how the object version is laid out and organized. (See also #89 ).

Together with #90 and #89 closes #88

…explicitly specify the packaging formats used to package the content of object versions. We

broadly define "packaging format" as a set of rules about the way the content files of an OCFL object version are laid out, organized, and described.

It would be very unfortunate to reuse the term manifest here as the meaning is completely different from the specification use https://ocfl.io/1.1/spec/#manifest . A name like packaging_formats would be clearer and more descriptive.

We thought we were following the pattern set by the Schema Registry extension. It also uses this term, see https://ocfl.github.io/extensions/0008-schema-registry.html#schema_inventoryjson . That being said, it is no problem to change it.
