Doug Hellmann 16352e95b5 format links in the readme to work with the release notes tools
The release note generation tool expects to find certain URLs using
regular expressions so it can include them in the automatically
generated notes. Update the README to use the "standard" syntax for
those links.

Ironic
======
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare
metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal
driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor **API** and a set
of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it
will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines,
but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement
additional functionality.
