- Switch from rst to markdown (syntax is just so much easier) - Add honest project description (securesystemslib is for TUF and in-toto). - Remove wordy Overview section. Relevant information about crypto backends, and key types and formats should be documented as part of the API on RTD. - Replace legacy interface snippets in Usage section with link to securesystemslib RTD page. Legacy interfaces have functional replacements in the new Signer API, i.e. CryptoSigner for file-based RSA, ed25519, ecdsa keys, and GPGSigner for GPG keys. Signer API docs are still WIP (see secure-systems-lab#622), but already seem more useful than the legacy docs. And we definitely don't want to encourage anyone to use legacy interfaces. - Shorten installation/testing sections. Signed-off-by: Lukas Puehringer <[email protected]>

Superceds pr #624 with the only change that I applied Jussi's comment from the original pr.
Description from original pr:
Switch from rst to markdown (syntax is just so much easier)
Add honest project description (securesystemslib is for TUF and in-toto).
Remove wordy Overview section. Relevant information about crypto backends, and key types and formats should be documented as part of the API on RTD.
Replace legacy interface snippets in Usage section with link to securesystemslib RTD page.
Legacy interfaces have functional replacements in the new Signer API, i.e. CryptoSigner for file-based RSA, ed25519, ecdsa keys, and GPGSigner for GPG keys.
Signer API docs are still WIP (see #622), but already seem more useful than the legacy docs. And we definitely don't want to encourage anyone to use legacy interfaces.
Fixes README part of #511
