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.

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.
