Do not rename existing README, rename the CRA README

[TomasHubelbauer]

I would like to propose that instead of renaming existing README.md to README.old.md if any, CRA should instead leave that file alone and drop its readme under the name README-CRA.md and not README.md.

The rationale for this is that if a readme exists already, it's most likely going to be more valuable than the CRA readme and that's what people should keep seeing after CRA is scaffolded in the repository. It's still handy to have the CRA readme handy, but no one is going to start rebuilding their existing readme on top the CRA one, they will just reference bits of the CRA one in their own.

So instead of forcing people to rename the CRA readme and fixing the incorrect rename of their already existing readme, let's create the CRA readme under a new name and respect the exsting readme.

I just found that CRA will warn and refuse to run in case a README2.md file already exists in the destination directory, so on top of touching the user's file unexpectedly, any users who are aware of this behavior and try to avoid it by naming their readme in a non-conflicting way will actually be punished for that. CRA doesn't generate a README2.md file so it is unclear to me what that is disallowed from existing while actual conflicting README.md isn't.

@Stale go away, this issue saw absolutely no feedback or triage yet, why can't you leave it alone until it has? What point is there in you invoking yourself on issue which have not had any activity besides the author? Just go away, you suck.

@TomasHubelbauer Are you talking about on eject?

[TomasHubelbauer]

No this is when doing "create-react-app .". It asks you to clear your directory if it has any files. But if it has just a README it renames it instead.
