Rename README files to README.txt (and several similar files).
Files without '.txt' suffix can't be handled well by Windows (users),
hence renaming such text files to *.txt makes FLTK more "Windows-friendly".
There are a few exceptions (this is intentional): README and other files
in bundled libraries (maintained upstream) are not changed.
