* Convert README from Markdown to ReStructured Text and use as longdesc
Discussion in #13758 led to deciding to switch README to rst and having

* Fix long string in setup.py for pep8 compliance
* Open README.rst as read-only
* Update usages of root README.md to README.rst
Unsure about the file ./packaging/debian/docs as it (only) contains the

(cherry picked from commit 7afa34ae8a)

* use double quotation marks only where it's needed
* unify usage of brackets sorrounding variables
* shorten pkgdesc (kudos to Fedora)
* update README
Arch python binary patch was broken since improvement in 785068d. This
change fixes patch, removing most of the lines thanks to the new PYTHON

New source file already uploaded on AUR.
Added a README.md to explain the purpose of the directory
Fixed dependencies in PKGBUILD
Added patch to change python binary name for arch users, so they
don't end up using python 3 (python links to python3 by default on arch
