This adds a section to the repository README letting people know it's now possible to earn bitcoin in some cases and get paid for making contributions to Bitcoin.org. In particular, I'm testing this out with some issues that have been open for over a year, and some other small ones that no one has stepped up to resolve.
These open issues are labeled with "Bounty", which means that they now have bounties on them. Anyone can submit a pull request resolving the issue along with an accompanying note or comment containing a bitcoin address to automatically receive a payment in the amount of the bounty if it gets merged.

This will be merged once tests pass.
I've opened issue #1606 as a place where we can collaborate on this experiment, as well as other ways we can compensate contributors under the goal of making the site as awesome as it can be.
