Dave Collins e8bab6bc19 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.

Third, 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.

Finally, it replaces the badges with SVG versions from shields.io so
they are consistent.

btcutil

[Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/btcsuite/btcutil) [![Coverage Status] (http://img.shields.io/coveralls/btcsuite/btcutil.svg)] (https://coveralls.io/r/btcsuite/btcutil?branch=master) ![ISC License] (http://img.shields.io/badge/license-ISC-blue.svg) [GoDoc] (http://godoc.org/github.com/btcsuite/btcutil)

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.

Installation and Updating
