I build libgit2 in a `build/` subdirectory of a Git checkout, and
never bother installing it. I'd like to link pygit2 against it there,
but LIBGIT2 assumes libgit2.so will be in the default library search
path or $LIBGIT/lib. This patch adds LIBGIT2_LIB, a new environment
variable for overriding the additional library search paths.
An alternative to this patch is to set LDFLAGS="-L..." explicitly
before building pygit2. I've avoided that approach here minimize the
difference between configuring this library path explicitly, and
configuring implicitly via LIBGIT2.
Moved the hardcoded version from setup.py to pygit2/version.py so
client software can figure out which version of pygit2 it's using.
Having setup.py import pygit2.version.__version__ removes duplication,
and also means that setup.py will always use the local version (and
not the version of a previously installed pygit2).

The readme file is now written in reStructuredText (instead of
markdown). This is because reST is the only thing pypi understands.
So now the same readme file will be used for pygit2's homepage at github
and pypi:
- https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2
- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygit2
Changes since v0.15.1:
- Update to libgit2 v0.16.0
- Improve support for references
- New method Index.read_tree
- Rename Index.create_tree to Index.write_tree
- Fix compilation error with MSVC (issue #53)
- Fix a few segfaults (including issue #55)
