Move the README to README.md so Gerrit can render it; currently Gerrit only renders files named exactly "README.md" (for example at https://go.googlesource.com/go). Add more links to the README explaining how to file issues, how to submit code changes, where to download the code to and how to get it. Hopefully this should help people who go to https://go.googlesource.com/tools or https://github.com/golang/tools figure out how to get started with development.

Go Tools
This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.
Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go
distributions.
Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with
go get.
Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.
Download/Install
The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can
also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.
