Issue description: The analysis of the JDX JobSchema+ identified as missing from schema.org properties that relate to requirements other than those for competencies and credentials. These are

• Citizenship Requirement "Country of applicant's citizenship"
• Physical Requirement "Resource identifying types of physical activity associated with a job"
• Security Clearance Requirement "Description of any security clearance requirements for the job"
• Sensory Requirement "Resource identifying sensory requirements and levels necessary to function on the job including hearing and vision"

Discussion: mail list October 2019, thread on Other requirements in JobPostings. and mail list February 2019 thread on citizenship requirement (and other JobPosting requirements).

• Based on JDX and widening the scope of "Citizenship requirements" after analysis of similar terms in HROpen, propose a four new properties of JobPosting for these requirements.

Proposal

Status: eligibilityToWorkRequirement: Proposed to schema.org; the others have been accepted (see issue 2384, pull request 2385)

Based on coverage of HROpenStandards eligibility types and eligibility documentation:

eligibilityToWorkRequirement::

Defintion: The legal requirements such as citizenship, visa and other documentation required for an applicant to this job.

Expected Type: Text

Based on JDX, add the following as properties to schema.org/JobPosting

physicalRequirement:

Defintion: A description of the types of physical activity associated with the job.

Expected Type: DefinedTerm, Text, Url

securityClearanceRequirement:

Defintion: A description of any security clearance requirements of the job.

Expected Type: Text, Url

sensoryRequirement:

Defintion: A description of any sensory requirements and levels necessary to function on the job, including hearing and vision.

Expected Type: DefinedTerm, Text, Url

physical and sensoryRequirements may be merged.

Deifned terms such as those in O*net may be used, but note that there is no way to specify the level of ability as well as its nature when using a defined term.
