OTP-8449 Documentation improvements.

The most important "readme" files now use Markdown notation. HTML versions of these files are now also automatically generated and included in the HTML documentation. - Building and Installing Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md (previously known as $ERL_TOP/README). - Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md. - How to Build Erlang/OTP on Windows - $ERL_TOP/INSTALL-WIN32.md (previously known as $ERL_TOP/README.win32).
