Separate build-metadata precedence guidance from the syntax examples in spec item 10.
Illustrate equal precedence with stable versions that differ only in build metadata (1.0.0+001 and 1.0.0+20130313144700).
Label the remaining strings as examples of build metadata syntax, including pre-release plus metadata forms.
Fixes#568. Follows the clarity direction discussed in #640.
