Hopefully there will be less confusion about names.
I can't thank enough the author of "coursera-dl" PyPI package @dgorissen
who generously gave up that package to us. Thank you!
Python 2 and Python 3 disagree on the exception thrown when
`subprocess.call` can't find the program to execute.

This commit makes execution of setup.py generate the README.rst file by
calling pandoc.
We only stop execution of the program if README.md can not be converted into
a README.rst file, in which case we execute the show a message to the user.
I hope that, in the future, PyPI can accept Markdown files and that we can
stop having to convert between formats (and, also, get a more faithful
reproduction of the intended markup, since some of the conversions are,
unfortunately, lossy).

This is in preparation for further enhancements to kill problems with
`setup.py` not working for some people.

Otherwise, we were generating lists as the output of the function when
reading `README.rst` and, in Python 3, we had an exception being thrown
saying that lists didn't have a `split` method.
This makes `read_file` always return a string, which makes it possible to
run:
python3 setup.py sdist
which is a portability win, of course.

This is essentially a cherry-pick of a previous commit of issue #345. As I
am not going to merge that, I am including its message here:
This may (or may not) be a cosmetic thing, but, otherwise, the generate
`PKG-INFO` file gets the platform listed as unknown, and I clearly don't
want it to be that way.
This closes#345.

I'm not really sure if we should declare compatibility with Python 3.2.
While we also test for pypy (via Travis CI), I am not really sure how to
specify that in the file (I still have to do some reading).
Also, I don't really expect any problems with the use of Python 3.5, but
since it is not (yet) tested with travis, I'm not yet putting it explicitly
here.

This is still not really satisfactory, as it seems that we have a limitation
in the number of authors (or it seems that we should use an ad-hoc format)
for specifying who the authors are, according to various sources, including:
https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#additional-meta-data
For that reason, I refrained from telling that I am an (the?) author of this
program, as John should be equally credited here, if not more. I only
listed myself as the maintainer of the program.
