In v2024.09.0, we switched from our old README to a new fancy
README.rst. What was missing though, was adjusting scripts/checkpach.pl
as it uses the existence of a number of files, including the README file
to decide whether a directory is the top-level barebox directory or not.
Rename README to README.rst and while at it, change the error messages
to not output a confusing:
checkpatch.pl: Must be run from the top-level dir. of a kernel tree
