Add comprehensive Dynamo graph file specification: a JSON Schema (doc/dyn-file-spec.json) targeting draft 2020-12 for .dyn/.dyf files (Dynamo 3.0+), and a human-readable Markdown reference (doc/dyn-file-spec.md). The schema and docs cover the root object, ElementResolver, Node/Port/Connector models, Inputs/Outputs, dependencies, View block (node positions, annotations, camera), bindings, linting, and GUID conventions, plus examples and known ConcreteType values.
