[game_preservation] Preservation SIG's charter/description change?

[Martin Goldberg]

I guess that's why I wrote this, because in my mind it should be
formally defined as part of this SIG if it's actually covered under
it. Right now the IGDA-SIG page describes the SIG's purpose as purely
digital preservation (with one slight mention of the word "history"
that could be taken as the "history of digital preservation" vs.
history of the industry).
