Improve README

Browse source 
All-around improvements to the README.
Each sentence now gets its own line to eliminate ultra-long lines in the
source (expect in bullet points--separating a bullet point into multiple
lines looks weird and decreases readability).
HTTPS links are now preferred to HTTP links and used where applicable.
Link to Mercurial's website corrected to www.mercurial-scm.org
Link to Hugo's docs is now accessible with [Hugo Documentatio][] since
it is used more than once in the README.
Multiline code blocks are now fenced rather than indented and include
syntax highlighting.

## Overview
Hugo is a static site generator written in [Go][]. It is optimized for speed, easy use and configurability. Hugo takes a directory with content and templates and renders them into a full HTML website.

It is optimized for speed, easy use and configurability.
Hugo takes a directory with content and templates and renders them into a full HTML website.
Hugo relies on Markdown files with front matter for meta data. And you can run Hugo from any directory. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don’t have a privileged account.

Hugo renders a typical website of moderate size in a fraction of a second. A good rule of thumb is that each piece of content renders in around 1 millisecond.
