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.

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.
