📄 Description

Based on discussion in #43 I've made an effort to describe a new ! character, which can optionally be used in the header to indicate a breaking change.

The value I see in making this optional:

the feature will be available for folks who would like to use it, but the spec doesn't drift away from angular's commit message format.
tooling can more gradually move over to this new semantic construct.

I propose we wait and see how widely ! is adopted, and consider making it a MUST in the future if it's seeing wide adoption.
