This super short PR is only meant to help improve developer experience.
Currently the README is shown as plain-text on the github home page which is a bit difficult to read (imho).

Judging by the text in README, I guess that it is written in rst format (please correct me if I am wrong).

Motivation
Having a pretty preview will help develolpers quickly glean over the document and find the stuff that they want.

So, I have made the following changes that help show the pretty preview of README in tools like Github:

  • Change README extension to rst
  • Make the contents of README compliant with the rst format so that it can be correctly parsed

The text content of README is not changed and here is a screenshot of how this previews on GitHub:

Some context
I have just discovered and used the keyring plugin for the first time as a trialmattician at automattic. I quite liked the abstraction that the plugin provides and in the course of finding documentation, I found this repository.

This PR changes the Readme to `rst` format which github can preview.
