[PATCH] README: Find more sane first words we have to say about Linux

[Martin Kepplinger <martink@posteo.de>]

Imagine you're completely new to Linux, just real quick, ok? What do you do?
Wouldn't having a look at README be under first if no *the* first thing?
Ah there it is: README. "Linux kernel". nice! So what's that?
"This file was moved to ...... Please notice that there are several....".
Wtf!? Why? Can't they just tell me what's going on like a normal person?

I'm sorry for the exaggeration, but really honestly I think we could do better.
I'm all for not really having content in README, but come on :)

I only try to avoid the biggest damage here and find some nice first words
at least.

please ignore if too irrelevant, but I personally would put this in 4.11,
if still possible, and rewrite the REAME for 4.12 to be even more friendly.

thanks
