We've adopted reStructuredText as the primary markup language for
our documentation and, given that both GitLab and GitHub can render
documents in this format just fine, it makes sense to get rid of
the few last remaining bits of Markdown and standardize on
reStructuredText across the board.

Note that I've taken a few liberties during the conversion when it
comes to formatting, with the goal of staying close to the style
used for existing reStructuredText documents, but I have not altered
the contents beyond that.

Installation
-------------
+============
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built
and installed with the usual commands, however, we mandate to have the
build directory different than the source directory. For example, to build
in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
-```
-$ mkdir build && cd build
-$ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
-$ make
-$ sudo make install
-```
+::
Side question:
Are we against putting :: at the end of the previous line? I think it
looks slightly better that way.

+ $ mkdir build && cd build
+ $ ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
+ $ make
+ $ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user

-$ make
-$ make install
-```
+::
+
+ $ mkdir build && cd build
