README: Fix grammatical & punctuation errors, markdown-ify, clickable URLs, improved reading clarity

- Fixed grammatical errors: 
    - "which ... by upgrading"   -> which ... from upgrading"

- Fixed punctuation (incorrectly added comma):
    - "building and, running"     -> "building and running"

- Improved reading clarity:
    - "In a number of formats"  -> "In several formats"
    - "In order to build the"       -> "To build the"
    - "several of them using"    -> "several using"

- Updated file to markdown, while maintaining past formatting

- Links are now hyperlinks, facilitating use

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
