Quick note on the samples in cose-msg.  Will look at the rest later

Look in the directory spec-examples for the cose-msg examples.  Some are
basically duplicated in other locations.  I need to do a rename of the files
since I added a new appendix.  That is Appendix_B_1_1.json is the example
for appendix C.1.1
