README: reflow the project description to improve readability
Also, move the sentence about "who would use libdrm" into its own paragraph, as it is something people discovering libdrm will want to know. Signed-off-by: Eric Engestrom <eric.engestrom@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com>main

libdrm - userspace library for drm
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is libdrm, a userspace library for accessing the DRM, direct
|
||||
rendering manager, on Linux, BSD and other operating systems that
|
||||
support the ioctl interface. The library provides wrapper functions
|
||||
for the ioctls to avoid exposing the kernel interface directly, and
|
||||
for chipsets with drm memory manager, support for tracking relocations
|
||||
and buffers. libdrm is a low-level library, typically used by
|
||||
graphics drivers such as the Mesa DRI drivers, the X drivers, libva
|
||||
and similar projects. New functionality in the kernel DRM drivers
|
||||
typically requires a new libdrm, but a new libdrm will always work
|
||||
with an older kernel.
