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.
