Convert README to README.md and expand like in other projects

Let's align with structure and content of README.md in other osmo-*
projects.

About OsmoMGW
=============
OsmoMGW originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.
OsmoMGW was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. It originated
as a solution to merely navigate RTP streams through a NAT, but has since
matured to a Media Gateway implementation that is capable of streaming RTP for
2G (AoIP) and 3G (IuCS) GSM networks as well as (still not implemented at time
of writing) transcoding between TRAU, various RTP payloads and IuUP.
The OsmoMGW program exposes an MGCP interface towards clients like OsmoMSC and
OsmoBSC, and receives and sends RTP streams as configured via MGCP.
The libosmo-mgcp-client library exposes utilities used by e.g. OsmoMSC (found
in osmo-msc.git) to instruct OsmoMGW via its MGCP service.

osmo-mgw - Osmocom MGW (Media GateWay) Implementation
=====================================================
This repository contains a C-language implementation of an MGW (Media
GateWay) for use [not only] within the 2G (GSM) and/or 3G (UMTS)
Cellular Network built using Osmocom CNI (Cellular Network
Infrastructure) software.
The OsmoMGW program provides an MGCP interface towards an MGCP call agent
(client) like OsmoMSC and OsmoBSC, and receives and sends RTP streams as
configured via the MGCP control plane.
This Media Gateway implementation is capable of
* streaming RTP for 2G (3GPP AoIP and Abis-over-IP)
* streaming RTP for 3G (IuCS including the IuFP protocol)
* TDM (E1/T1) based Abis interface with TRAU frames on 16k sub-slots
* basic support for LCLS (Local Call, Local Switch) related features
* various built-in translation capabilities
* between Abis TRAU frames and RTP formats
* between 2G AMR/RTP and 3G AMR/IuFP/RTP
* between bandwidth-efficient and octet-aligned AMR
* between different standards for encapsulating GSM HR codec frames in RTP
osmo-mgw is typically co-located with
* osmo-bsc (GSM BSC)
* osmo-msc (GSM/UMTS MSC)
* osmo-hnbgw (UMTS HNBGW); osmo-mgw implements RTP relay between Iuh
and IuCS interfaces
The libosmo-mgcp-client library exposes utilities used by e.g. OsmoMSC
(found in osmo-msc.git) to instruct OsmoMGW via its MGCP service.
