Description

Documentation Is:

- [x] Missing
- [ ] Needed
- [ ] Confusing
- [ ] Not Sure?

### Please Explain in Detail...

`csv-parser` does not specify which CSV specification it follows.

### Your Proposal for Changes

I suggest we document somewhere that `csv-parser` uses https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt, according to
https://github.com/mafintosh/csv-parser/issues/155#issuecomment-547439914

similarly to https://github.com/Keyang/node-csvtojson#csvtojson
