Move editor support from README.md to EDITORS.md

[erf]

Not sure you want this, but i thought i clean up the README.md somewhat, by moving the editor support list to a separate file and link to it from README.md.

Isn't it good to stay on the homepage?

I'm not certain I agree with this right now. The current README is reasonably terse and we may want to give more thought to how we frame the tooling situation (should we move Operating Systems in there as well?)

[erf]

My thinking was that editor support is perhaps not the most important thing to mention, is now taking up the most space and and a few other sections have already been moved to separate files.

Taking a look at the README as it now stands, I agree with @erf that editors is taking up an unusually large amount of space compared to other items. I'm in favor of this change but won't merge until there has been more discussion. At the latest, this will be resolved and a decision will be made no later than the next sync meeting. The next one is currently scheduled for September 1st.

I am in support of a switch to EDITOR.md as the editors takes up ~1/3 of the space in README.

However, if think we are dangerously close to having README just be big sections headers each containing a single link to another file. Structurally, I would suggest a reorganization to a "definition list" style a la:

My inclination is to include only the elements that will be a definite stopgap to adopting Pony, meanwhile all the elements for active Pony users is capture by a link to a more complete treatment.

[SeanTAllen]

I like @rhagenson's suggestion and would definitely be in favor.

[SeanTAllen]

@rhagenson I'm going to merge this. When you have time, can you follow through on your suggestion?

@erf Thanks for taking the initiative on this.
