Add a long description to PIP package page

[ligurio]

For PIP project it is possible to show a detailed description of the package. This is shown on the package detail page on the Python Package Index [1]. Patch allows showing a long description loaded from README.md, which is a common pattern [2].

1. https://pypi.org/project/mkrepo/
2. https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/#configuring-metadata

@knazarov could you review?

Oops, CI tells me the following:

isort . -c
ERROR: /home/runner/work/mkrepo/mkrepo/setup.py Imports are incorrectly sorted and/or formatted.
Skipped 1 files
make: *** [Makefile:13: isort] Error 1

I'll wait for a fix.

Thanks!

NB: It'll show its effect on https://pypi.org/project/mkrepo/ at next release.

PyPI does not allow to re-deploy existing releases. I don't see any other way to update the description.
