The ig-publisher generates the following warning for Observation examples that lack a performer.

> WARNING: Observation/satO2-fiO2: Observation: All observations should have a performer

These rules were written "years ago" based on committee discussions.

However, they are undocumented.

Proposal: add a "best-practice" invariant on `Observation`

Text "All observations should have a performer"

FHIRpath: performer.exists()
