Dave Collins 3942a116e4 docs: Make various README.md files consistent.

First, it removes the documentation section from all the README.md files
and instead puts a web-based godoc badge and link at the top with the
other badges.  This is being done since the local godoc tool no longer
ships with Go by default, so the instructions no longer work without
first installing godoc. Due to this, pretty much everyone uses the
web-based godoc these days anyways.  Anyone who has manually installed
godoc won't need instructions.

Second, it makes sure the ISC license badge is at the top with the other
badges and removes the textual reference in the overview section.

Finally, it's modifies the Installation section to Installation and
Updating and adds a '-u' to the 'go get' command since it works for both
and thus is simpler.

Package txscript implements the bitcoin transaction script language. There is a comprehensive test suite.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to use or validate bitcoin transaction scripts.

Bitcoin Scripts

Bitcoin provides a stack-based, FORTH-like langauge for the scripts in the bitcoin transactions. This language is not turing complete although it is still fairly powerful. A description of the language can be found at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script

Installation and Updating

$ go get -u github.com/btcsuite/btcd/txscript
