Be consistent with normative / non-normative sections
See https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-trace-context/2020Feb/0004.html
A few sections of the document are marked as non-normative, but then their subsections include many direct normative requirements. The Problem Statement and Solution sections (which read to me as non-normative overviews) are not marked as non-normative. I don’t really have any strong feelings about use of non-normative section headers, I’m just passing on that the distinctions in the current spec are confusing.

We will consider this cleanup for Level 2. Not absolutely required, but more of an editorial fix.
