The link to Documentation/git-commandname.txt was obviously broken.
Remove the link and make it clear that it is not a literal path name by
using *italics* in makdown.

The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to
the description and link to the documentation.
Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but
other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary.
This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance
by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a
historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of
mind of current developers.

"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but
hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes
Git more accuralety.
Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it
in the very first words of the README.
The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.

The documentation available on git-scm.com is nicely formatted. It's
better to point users to it than to the source code of the
documentation.

This allows repository browsers like GitHub to display the content of
the file nicely formatted.
