Repository: PyCQA/docformatter (python)

Issue:
Readme example does not produce the expected result
In the readme, an example using the syntax `docformatter --in-place example.py` is used, and suggests that 
```
def launch_rocket():
    """Launch
the
rocket. Go colonize space."""
```
is autoformatted to 
```
def launch_rocket():
    """Launch the rocket.

    Go colonize space.
    """
```
. This is not the case unless one runs `docformatter --in-place --force-wrap example.py` (this function is unchanged). As far as I can tell this happens due to the use heuristic ratio detection in `is_some_sort_of_list`

This isn't exactly a problem as one can just enable the flag, but may be worth making that explicit in the example. Not sure if there could be a better solution (maybe the first line of a docstring shouldn't be parsed as a list?) but I'm a new user so not sure what the desired behaviour should be.

Pull request description:
fix: add argument to turn on/off many lines of short words being a list
The conditional in is_some_sort_of_list() function was identifying the README example
```
def launch_rocket():
    """Launch
the
rocket. Go colonize space."""
```
as a list because it was being processed as many lines of short words.  This required the --force-wrap argument to be set to produce the desired result.

This PR adds a new argument `--non-strict` to control the execution of this conditional.  Since the list format it is searching for is a non-standard reST list, this argument is assigned a default value of False.  Passing it on the command line or setting it True in the configuration file will restore current behavior (i.e., not strictly following reST).

Also adds some bling to the top of the README.

Closes #67
