Valentin Lorentz 833af36b08 all plugins: auto-generate READMEs
Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text
in READMEs.
Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs
should be automatically generated from these docstrings.

Motivation:

* The same help is available both via IRC and in the README
  (although the README can be more detailed, as only the first
  paragraph will be shown on IRC)
* This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net
  using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the
  docstrings

Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST,
because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings
in the codebase are in ReST for this reason.

Documentation for the Herald plugin for Supybot
===============================================
Purpose
-------
Greets users who join the channel with a recognized hostmask with a nice
little greeting.
Usage
-----
This plugin allows you to set welcome messages (heralds) to people who
are recognized by the bot when they join a channel.
Commands
--------
add [<channel>] <user|nick> <msg>
Sets the herald message for <user> (or the user <nick|hostmask> is currently identified or recognized as) to <msg>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
change [<channel>] [<user|nick>] <regexp>
Changes the herald message for <user>, or the user <nick|hostmask> is currently identified or recognized as, according to <regexp>. If <user> is not given, defaults to the calling user. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
default [<channel>] [--remove|<msg>]
If <msg> is given, sets the default herald to <msg>. A <msg> of "" will remove the default herald. If <msg> is not given, returns the current default herald. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
get [<channel>] [<user|nick>]
Returns the current herald message for <user> (or the user <nick|hostmask> is currently identified or recognized as). If <user> is not given, defaults to the user giving the command. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
remove [<channel>] [<user|nick>]
Removes the herald message set for <user>, or the user <nick|hostmask> is currently identified or recognized as. If <user> is not given, defaults to the user giving the command. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
