Use testable example and update README.md.

This commit moves the example to a test file so it integrates nicely with
Go's example tooling.

This allows the example output to be tested as a part of running the
normal Go tests to help ensure it doesn't get out of date with the code.
It is also nice to have the example in one place rather than repeating it
in doc.go and README.md.

Links and information about the example have been included in README.md in
place of the example.

```Go
// Import packages.
import (
"github.com/conformal/btcdb"
_ "github.com/conformal/btcdb/ldb"
"github.com/conformal/btcnet"
"github.com/conformal/btcutil"

dbName := "example"
db, err := btcdb.CreateDB("leveldb", dbName)
if err != nil {
// Log and handle the error
}
defer db.Close()
// Insert the main network genesis block.
genesis := btcutil.NewBlock(btcnet.MainNetParams.GenesisBlock)
newHeight, err := db.InsertBlock(genesis)
if err != nil {
// Log and handle the error

Demonstrates creating a new database and inserting the genesis
block into it.

import it, setup a database, insert some data into it, and optionally,
query the data back. The first block inserted into the database will be
treated as the genesis block. Every subsequent block insert requires the
referenced parent block to already exist. In a more concrete example:
