Stefan Tatschner 0c2d769dee Update the README
Since we are using rst now, let's convert the README to rst as well. I
also removed some obsolete Jekyll instructions and replaced them with
the proper Sphinx ones.

Syncthing Docs
==============
This repo is the source behind http://docs.syncthing.net/.
Editing
-------
To edit the documentation you need a GitHub account. Once you have created one
and logged in, you can edit any page by navigating to the corresponding file and
clicking the edit (pen) icon. This will create a so called "fork" and a "pull
request", which will be approved by one of the existing documentation team
members. Once you haveve made a contribution or two, you can be added to the
documentation team and perform edits without requiring approval.
In the long run, learning to use Git_ and running Sphinx_ on your computer is
beneficial.
Structure
---------
The documentation is divided into an index page (``index.rst``) and various
subsections. The sections are:
- Introductory information in ``intro``.
- Information for users in ``users``.
- Information for developers in ``dev``.
The documentation uses the `rst format`_. For a starting point check out the
