multi: Update markdown files for GFM changes. 
The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer
allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links.  This
updates all of the markdown files accordingly.

While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in regards to
other README.md files in the project.

btcutil

Build Status Coverage Status ISC License GoDoc

Package btcutil provides bitcoin-specific convenience functions and types. A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. See test_coverage.txt for the gocov coverage report. Alternatively, if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a real-time report.

This package was developed for btcd, an alternative full-node implementation of bitcoin which is under active development by Conformal. Although it was primarily written for btcd, this package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing the functionality provided.
