.rst files -> .md files.

re-play https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/1235/ , "convert more .rst files to .md", but less crash-y. Also pull in some excellent feedback and update with doc changes that went into the .rst.

The crashy change converted many rst docs to Pants-enhanced markdown (yay) with BUILD targets (yay) with circular deps which 'goal markdown' is OK with (hmm) but which 'goal test' balks at, breaking CI (d'oh). So I reverted that change.

*This* change is like *that* change, but

* Uses the new `links` BUILD param instead of `dependencies`. Yay for no CI breaks.
* Pulls in an additition the excellent AReitz made to JVMProjects.rst meanwhile.
* Includes feedback from same excellent AReitz.
* pulls in .rst changes that came in at https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/1279/
