Switch to a restructuredtext README file

To make the README file showup in a more readable manner
on pypi and on other external sites convert the README from
the markdown format and move it to the restructuredtext format
which displays better on those external sites (and keeps our
documentation consistently one format).

-### Requirements
-
-Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence
-backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two
-parts:
-- things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can't use
-  TaskFlow without them) are put to `requirements.txt`;
-- things that are required by some optional part of TaskFlow (you
-  can use TaskFlow without them) are put to `optional-requirements.txt`;
-  if you want to use the feature in question, you should add that
-  requirements to your project or environment;
-- as usual, things that required only for running tests are put
-  to `test-requirements.txt`.
-
-### Tox.ini
-
-Our tox.ini describes several test environments that allow to test
-TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements
-installed.
-
-To generate tox.ini, use the `toxgen.py` script by first installing
-[toxgen](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/toxgen/) and then provide that script
-as input the `tox-tmpl.ini` file to generate the final `tox.ini` file.
-
-*For example:*
-
-    $ toxgen.py -i tox-tmpl.ini -o tox.ini

+Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence
+backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two
+parts: - things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can’t use
+TaskFlow without them) are put to ``requirements.txt``; - things that
+are required by some optional part of TaskFlow (you can use TaskFlow
+without them) are put to ``optional-requirements.txt``; if you want to
+use the feature in question, you should add that requirements to your
+project or environment; - as usual, things that required only for
+running tests are put to ``test-requirements.txt``.
+
+Tox.ini
+~~~~~~~
+
+Our ``tox.ini`` file describes several test environments that allow to test
+TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements installed.
+
+To generate the ``tox.ini`` file, use the ``toxgen.py`` script by first
+installing `toxgen`_ and then provide that script as input the ``tox-tmpl.ini``
+file to generate the final ``tox.ini`` file.
+
+*For example:*
+
+::
+
+    $ toxgen.py -i tox-tmpl.ini -o tox.ini

+Developer documentation
