This adds support for generating our README.md from the sudo-edit.el source
itself using make-readme-markdown [1].

This is nice because, as per the MRM docs [1], "when you're writing an
elisp module, the module itself should be the canonical source of
documentation. But it's not very user-friendly or good marketing for your
project to have an empty README.md that refers people to your source code,
and it's even worse if you have to maintain two separate files that say the
same thing."

Hard to tell if that's a shell command or what. Prefix with M-x to make it
clear that it's an interactive Emacs command.
