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.

Example:
* If you add ``hugs $who``
* Someone says ``@praise ChanServ``.
* ``* bot hugs ChanServ``
