Title: In which we read requirement and documentation files relative to the setup.py location

This is required for installing packages from a subdirectory of a git repo. I had to do make these changes to be able to install a package from a subdirectory, ala

pip install -e "git+git@github.com:viaforensics/vialab-api.git#egg=vialabcore&subdirectory=vialabcore"

https://github.com/viaforensics/vialab-api holds two packages in different directories off of the repo root. This is also how to free yourself from the land of one-repo-on-package.
