Sundown status, and Hoedown #149

This simply adds a warning at the top of the README to indicate that Sundown is now frozen, and people should head to other forks like Hoedown to suggest features.


Background

Sundown has been frozen for a year now, since @vmg announced it was deprecated.

So in the commit (yes, I'm looking at 37728fb2d7137ff7c37d0a474cb827a8d6d846d8) the community (especially @devinus) managed to develop a serious fork, which we decided to call Hoedown.

We took Sundown, simplified the directory structure, made its API consistent, prefixing everything (including enums), merged some popular community-contributed features like footnotes and corrected some bugs, among other things.

And Hoedown (finally) has its first release. If you're curious, here's the changes we have made to Sundown by now.

Now we plan to document Hoedown's API and analyze the code, as well as migrating the bindings to use it.
