This client contains driver-specific code to allocate buffers. However clients
shouldn't contain driver-specific code and should rely on e.g. mesa to allocate
buffers via standard interfaces.
Additionally, because the build system always tries to enable all features, some
experimental drivers and drivers that aren't included in amd64 distribution
packages were required. Users would need to manually disable some drivers.
Releasers would need to install libdrm from source (because the release process
forbids adding custom build flags). Dropping simple-dmabuf-drm simplifies both
building and releasing.
The functionality previously tested via simple-dmabuf-drm can now be tested with
simple-dmabuf-egl.

Found while being parsed by doxygen (when used recursively), this fixes
the markdown bits as to be displayed properly.

configure.ac is no more, and in meson.build there are no minor or patch
versions for libweston, only major.

Explain how to use with Meson, as autotools is going away.

Make it official that libweston will export the weston_config API, as requested
in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/merge_requests/29 .
There is no other way third party helper clients could access the API.
The autotools build has been accidentally exporting it all the time, but the
Meson build needed fixing.

Move the README file to Markdown, and update it to attempt to explain
the current status and use of Weston.
The first sections are user-facing, so they can quickly understand what
Weston is, what it does, what it doesn't do, and how to go about using
it. The following sections on libweston and for distribution packagers
are left intact, but should probably be moved to separate documents.
This includes a screenshot of Weston running weston-terminal, Chrome and
simple-egl, which was taken by myself and subject to the same licensing
terms as the rest of the tree.
