Convert Readme to rst and move main content to Sphinx documentation
The README should be converted into rst, so it can be included as the main page of the sphinx documentation. Since the current README uses GitLab flavored Markdown, which is not recognized properly by RecommonMark (the markdown parser of sphinx), it is not properly formatted.
The Readme can link into the /doc
directory for further info. The info in the README itself should be very short and only the most important info such as:
- Requirements
- main methods
- link to further doc
