Change README to use Markdown

So that it will be nicely formatted on FreeIPA Pagure landing page.
  https://pagure.io/freeipa

Some links were updated as other projects also moved to Pagure.io.

-                               IPA Server
-
-  Overview
-  --------
-
-  FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity,
-  authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems
-  by providing simple to install and use command line and web based
-  managment tools.
-  FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard
-  protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation
-  of installation and configuration tasks.
-  FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via
-  cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
-
-  Benefits
-  --------
-
-  FreeIPA:
-  * Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials
-    and security settings
-  * Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in
-    an authenticated and secure way
-  * Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services
-    and files only to specific users
-  * Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords,
-    SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
-  * Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
-  * Integrates into Active Directory environments
-
-  Components
-  ----------
-
-  The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management
-  tools for the following components:
-
-  * LDAP Server - based on the 389 project (LDAP)
-    http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page
-
-  * KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
-    http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Main_Page
-
-  * PKI based on Dogtag project
-    http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page
-
-  * Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
-    http://www.samba.org/
-
-  * DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
-    https://www.isc.org/software/bind
