Update the README file to remove stale information
and describe the most important packages and tools
in the repo, to help users find their bearings amid
the plethora of obscure or obsolete things.
Also, consolidate the Contributing information at the end.

Move the README to README.md so Gerrit can render it; currently
Gerrit only renders files named exactly "README.md" (for example at
https://go.googlesource.com/go).
Add more links to the README explaining how to file issues,
how to submit code changes, where to download the code to and
how to get it. Hopefully this should help people who go to
https://go.googlesource.com/tools or https://github.com/golang/tools
figure out how to get started with development.
