docs: Rename README.in to README.md for GitLab
There seems to be little point in substituting the version number into README (using autotools). Rename it to README.md and distribute that verbatim (with autotools and Meson) instead. Autotools still requires that README exists, so leave a stub README file in place which redirects people to README.md. This can be dropped when we drop autotools support.
