Merge the main code.google svg-edit page to README

This is an update to README.md which merges the main code.googe.com landing page (https://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/) and the existing README.md file.

Actual changes:
* Some editorial license has been used when updating the main project summary, including adding a project logo.
* The recent news section has been updated to include svg-edit 2.8 and the move to github.
* The features section has been dropped as there's no easy way to represent such a list in markdown.
* The further reading section has been updated.
* The dependent projects have been moved to docs/Acknowledgements.md

The binary file links currently point to my github fork. Once we actually create the svg-edit-2.8 release, these should be updated to point to the main project instead of my fork.
