[issue27536] Convert readme to markdown

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

Thanks for the patch.  If we do want to use a markup language for the README, we would want to use reStructuredText, the standard markup language for CPython, rather than Markdown, which we currently don't use at all.  Github supports both, doesn't it?  And, for simple documents, like the README, the differences between the two shouldn't be that big.
