Rename the readme and license files

We are not using Markdown, so there is no need for them to
be .md files.

Also, when making the Python distribution it expects the file
to be named README and emits a warning when it does not exist.

+pygerrit is a python library that can be used to process the data from events
+generated by the Gerrit code review system.
+
+Gerrit offers a "stream-events" command that is run over ssh, and returns back
+a stream of events (new change uploaded, change merged, comment added, etc) as
+JSON text.
+
+This library handles the parsing of the JSON text from the event stream,
+encapsulating the data in event objects (Python classes), and allowing the
+client to fetch them from a queue. It also allows users to easily add handling
+of custom event types, for example if they are running a customised Gerrit
+installation with non-standard events.
+
+For examples of usage, please refer to example.py
