bcd886d897 README: create HTTP/HTTPS links from URLs in Markdown
Markdown supports automatic links by surrounding URLs with
angle brackets, as documented in
<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink>

While we're at it, update URLs to avoid redirecting clients for
git-scm.com (by using HTTPS) and public-inbox.org (by adding a
trailing slash).

54471fdcc3 README: replace gmane link with public-inbox
The general status and future of gmane is unclear at this
point, but certainly it does not seem to be carrying
gmane.comp.version-control.git at all anymore. Let's point
to public-inbox.org, which seems to be the favored archive
on the list these days (and which uses message-ids in its
URLs, making the links somewhat future-proof).

c9a014e38e README.md: don't take 'commandname' literally
The link to Documentation/git-commandname.txt was obviously broken.
Remove the link and make it clear that it is not a literal path name by
using *italics* in makdown.

a217f07388 README.md: move down historical explanation about the name
The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to
the description and link to the documentation.

Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but
other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary.

This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance
by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a
historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of
mind of current developers.

28513c4f56 README.md: don't call git stupid in the title
"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but
hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes
Git more accuralety.

Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it
in the very first words of the README.

The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.

d9b297db70 README.md: move the link to git-scm.com up
The documentation available on git-scm.com is nicely formatted. It's
better to point users to it than to the source code of the
documentation.
