Add the text of the GPLv2 in HTML, taken from the FSF website,
and use rich text to display the license in the GUI.
Move the introductory note about the GPL from the COPYING
license text file to the README.
Remove various other license callouts at the end of the COPYING file
as unnecessary and unhelpful. This information is present in
each source file, where it belongs.
Convert wiretap/ascend.y.in from Bison/YACC to Lemon and rename it to
wiretap/ascend_parser.lemon. Tighten up some of our scanning and
parsing. Make the indentation in it and related files consistent. Aside
from the recent IPv4 fragment offset changes, this produces identical
output to the 3.4 branch for the Ascend trace files I have here.
Remove the comment about supporting other commands. Another timeline
might have an Ascend that successfully pivoted to DSL or 15625B+1D
gigabit ISDN, but this one has neither.
This was our last/only Bison/YACC file, so remove Bison/YACC as a
development and packaging dependency and remove references to it from
the documentation.
Wiretap was originally being writen to be a packet-capture library which
might eventually replace libpcap but that's no longer the case: it's now
meant to be a library for accessing multiple types of files.
As such, don't describe it in the README as a packet-capture-library-to-be;
in fact since it's really internal to Wireshark don't mention it at all.
Don't discuss the fact that ancient (pre-2003) versions of zlib don't work
for Wireshark's purposes.

Also remove some, extra, commas and fix some other minor issues.

Convert the contents of the top-level README to Markdown and give it a
.md extension. Most of our documentation is plain text or AsciiDoc, but
the top-level README file in a Git repository is special in that many
online browsers will show the README contents along with the directory
listing and those browsers tend to favor Markdown. This is true of
GitHub (which we're currently mirroring to), Gerrit via its Gitiles
plugin (which we're not yet using but likely will), and other places.
Add "foreign" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. There is probably a joke to be
made here about the FSF and border walls.
