Fixed the stuff to use setuptools better. Low-value stuff like insert…

…ing versions into README.md and adding a file with metainfo has been removed. If one needs a version info or content of README, he should use pkg_resources. Releases are the versions

built from git tags. Development releases have git tags with "-dev" :) Also added some goodies, like .editorconfig and ignores.
