[issue27536] Convert readme to markdown

[Louis Taylor]

New submission from Louis Taylor:

Since the move to github is happening, the readme should probably be changed to markdown in order to render nicer on the github web interface. Issue 27476 introduced a .github folder, so it seems that preemptive changes for the migration are okay.
