Clarify how rel=items is implemented in the STAC API spec #161

@lossyrob

Description

@lossyrob

Collections that are returned from an API do not have any rel=item links, but have rel=items. The meaning of this reltype is inherited by the OGC API: Features spec. However a STAC user trying to understand the meaning of rel=items vs rel=item has to dig in a few different places to piece together how those two link types (don't) relate, and that rel=items isn't part of core STAC but instead the STAC API by way of oafeat.

This topic could use some documentation in the STAC API spec, and potentially in the Collection spec, to make clear where rel=items comes from.
