Nathan Bossart 363eb05996 Convert README to Markdown.
This is a first step toward modernizing our README file.  Some
popular developer platforms support rendering README.md files, so
a direct conversion to Markdown seems like a good place to start.
The intent is to keep this file legible as plain text even as it
accumulates more content.
