maruel 9e198a84a9 Overhaul the README files a bit.

I didn't change the content much but deleted some obviously wrong stuff. Renamed
the files to .md so they will be processed by gitiles.

This change is in no way "sufficient" but that's a start.

depot_tools

This package contains tools for working with Chromium development. It requires python 2.7.

Tools

The most important tools are:

fetch: A gclient wrapper to checkout a project. Use fetch --help for more details.
gclient: A meta-checkout tool. Think repo or git submodules, except that it support OS-specific rules, e.g. do not checkout Windows only dependencies when checking out for Android. Use gclient help for more details and README.gclient.md.
git cl: A code review tool to interact with Rietveld or Gerrit. Use git cl help for more details and README.git-cl.md.
roll-dep: A gclient dependency management tool to submit a dep roll, updating a dependency to a newer revision.

There are a lot of git utilities included.

Updating

depot_tools updates itself automatically when running gclient tool. To disable auto update, set the environment variable DEPOT_TOOLS_UPDATE=0.

To update package manually, run update_depot_tools.bat on Windows, or ./update_depot_tools on Linux or Mac.

On Windows only, running gclient will install svn (not for long), git, python.
