Standardise Link-Format

The README file had not a consistent handling of links. Sometimes there was a Link with Text sometimes there was a Linked URL. Sometimes there was «here» mentioned in the text. 

The changes were made under the following rules:
* Links have a URL and a text
* Link-Text is a (human) meaningful description of the target (machine) URL

What was not touched/fixed:
* Line-breaks at different width
