Include provenance-service-uri for RDF resources

Description:
(Originally raised by Stephen Cresswell and Luc. E.g. see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-wg/2011Nov/0289.html)

> If a resource is published by HTTP, or it is HTML or XHTML, then we can
> link to provenance by provenance-uri or provenance-service-uri.
>
> If a resource is some form of RDF, then we can give provenance-uri (but
> apparently not a provenance-service-uri?).

You're the second person to raise this, and on reflection I'm finding it harder to justify the asymmetry. (Originally I had this idea that the RDF case was somehow different, or aiming at use-cases where the provenance service made less sense, but on reflection I find it hard to sustain that argument.)

Related notes:

Following a path of least resistance or greatest consistency, I've added a prov:hasProvenanceService that mirrors the provenance-service link relation. I've also revised the text in section 3.3 to make the correspondence between RDF properties and link relations more explicit.
