Documentation overhaul with Discount (Markdown implementation).

The standard LuaDoc template is no longer used. Instead, the new
`scripts/markdowndoc.lua` has the template for LuaDoc and `scripts/update_doc`
has the template for the Manual.
Also added README, CHANGELOG, and THANKS files.

 -- If your filesystem does not use UTF-8 encoded filenames, conversions to and
--- from that encoding will be necessary. When opening and saving files through
--- dialogs, Textadept takes care of these conversions for you, but if you need
--- to do them manually, use [`string.iconv()`][string_iconv] along with
--- `_CHARSET`, your filesystem's detected encoding.
