See the commit message for details.

Fixes #172.

I still want to add more Linux/Unix systems (maybe about 3 total), review the text more carefully, and the Windows instructions still need a bit of work according to #196.

Edit: I couldn't even get Aegisub to compile on more than 1 system.

You can see how the new README.md looks like at my fork: https://github.com/guijan/Aegisub/tree/update-readme

Display the logo.

Fix small grammar mistakes such as commas outside quotes.

Replace the links and text near the top with a briefer quick links
section.

The IRC wasn't displayed or linked properly because Markdown doesn't
support non-HTTP links, display the URL instead of trying to link it.

Break lines at 80 columns. You can split lines in Markdown like code.

Replace the deprecated `meson build_static` Meson construct with
`meson setup build_static`. Remove manual Ninja calls, Meson abstracts
it away. Remove unnecessary `meson compile -C build_static` step in the
macOS instructions because the `meson test -C build_static` line after
it will ensure Aegisub is compiled.

Rename "OS X" to "macOS," which is the new name Apple uses for their OS.

Syntax highlight code blocks.

Separate compilation instructions into Prerequisites/Building/Installer
sections and name sections uniquely so they can be linked.

Add Linux intructions.

Sort dependencies alphabetically.

Use release builds in the compilation instructions.
