The README lists the URLs for the wiki pages describing
how to build on Linux and Windows; add the equivalent
link for building on macOS.

These are in README or obsolete, and the detailed version can be on a
website instead.

checkpatch.pl and other scripts fail without README. Revert
the rename for now; we may add README.md as a symlink later.
This reverts commit e5dfc5e8e7.

Move the README file to markdown so that it makes the github page look
prettier. I know that github repo is a mirror and not the official
repo, but I think it doesn't hurt to have it in markdown format.

The README file is usually the first thing consulted when a user
or developer obtains a copy of the QEMU source. The current QEMU
README is lacking immediately useful information and so not very
friendly for first time encounters. It either redirects users to
qemu-doc.html (which does not exist until they've actually
compiled QEMU), or the website (which assumes the user has
convenient internet access at time of reading).
This fills out the README file as simple quick-start guide on
the topics of building source, submitting patches, licensing
and how to contact the QEMU community. It does not intend to be
comprehensive, instead referring people to an appropriate web
page to obtain more detailed information. The intent is to give
users quick guidance to get them going in the right direction.

qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has
access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to
outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the
web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will
point to it!
The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori
<anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois
information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already
references qemu-project.org.
Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on
behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet.
Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org.
Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following
commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are
using the latest URLs:
$ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes
$ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories
$ git submodule update --init
