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 NickCapture plugin for Supybot
====================================================
Purpose
-------
This module attempts to capture the bot's nick, watching for an opportunity to
switch to that nick.
Usage
-----
This plugin constantly tries to take whatever nick is configured as
supybot.nick. Just make sure that's set appropriately, and thus plugin
will do the rest.
Configuration
-------------
supybot.plugins.NickCapture.ison
This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines whether the bot will check occasionally if its preferred nick is in use via the ISON command.
supybot.plugins.NickCapture.ison.period
This config variable defaults to "600", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines how often (in seconds) the bot will check whether its nick ISON.
supybot.plugins.NickCapture.public
This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
