Create README.md

[ephbaum]

When reading announcement it referenced the README file for reporting issues but there isn't a root README... and the ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md wasn't referenced by the README files within the sub-folders... and generally it felt like there should be a README

... every project should have an up front README file. (This is one.)

ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md doesn't need to be referenced by the README, because it is primarily for the benefit of the Github Issue Tracker to pre-fill the issue text. This project's README files migrated down into subdirectories when the source repositories were unified.

• The forum link changed after the README files you used as a reference.
• Github's markdown parser seems to want to do the wrong thing with the inline * in one of the lists.

Thanks for reminding me that this needs to be done. I'll clean up the minor points above and get this merged.

Happy to get the ball rolling.

For what it's worth, the ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md is old style so an update to the template structure might be worth looking into as well: https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-issue-and-pull-request-templates

Thank you for the link. I wasn't aware that the format used here was deprecated, nor that Github had a proposed successor. I've split the template accordingly.
