In order to successfully render our README while publishing on PyPI we
need to specify the format of the README as 'text/markdown'. Without
this publishing on PyPI with twine fails as the format defaults to
rst (reStructuredText). And since we use more friendly md (markdown) for
our README we added long_description_content_type metadata to setup.cfg.
