Title: Balance between plaintext readability and Markdown syntax.

Goals:
A. Maintain plaintext readability for reading from the CLI; avoid
syntactic clutter.
B. Address issues/differences/features of Github's own "Github Flavored
Markdown". (Things that work with normal Markdown don't work the same
with Github Markdown. Re-worked Markdown usage through testing on
Github.)

Changes Made:
1. Github Flavored Markdown
automatically
converts links, so bracketed/parenthesized http://URLs are unnecessary.
2. Converted sections of text that were over 80 columns wide to be
contained within 80 columns via hard line breaks for plaintext
readability in any console environment.
3. Changed # and ## style heading level 1 and heading level 2 into ====
and ---- style Markdown headings for easier readability as a plaintext.
4. Removed superfluous URLs for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. (URLs that are
directly related to the project or that are part of explicit
download/instructional steps are important, but these URLs were not
used as such.
5. Double line spacing before headings and between horizontal rules;
single line spacing between everything else.

Notes:
* This commit was just a general formatting clean-up.
* Content hasn't (significantly) been changed; only formatting. Content
review and any subsequent changes can be done at a later commit.
* irc://URL not detected by Github automatically. (Although, I don't
want to clutter up the plaintext readability of the document with
brackets/parenthesis.)
* Derived/revised from sj4nz's work on converting the README to
README.md.
