README: Switch from {section}/{option} to {section}.{option}

To match the usual syntax used by Git [1] (which I expect will be more
familiar to most users).

 Options
 -------
 
-project/name
+project.name
   A string naming your project.  Replaces ``{project}`` in your
   copyright blurbs.  If this isn't set, ``update-copyright`` will fall
   back to using the name of the repository directory.
-project/vcs
+project.vcs
   The name of your version control system.
-files/authors
+files.authors
   Should ``update-copyright.py`` generate an ``AUTHORS`` file?
   ``yes`` or ``no``.
-files/files
+files.files
   Should ``update-copyright.py`` update copyright blurbs in versioned
   files?  ``yes`` or ``no``.
-files/ignored
+files.ignored
   A pipe-separated list of globs matching files that should not have
   copyright blurbs updated.  This protects files that may accidentally
   caught by the blurb update algorithm.
-files/pyfile
+files.pyfile
   The path of an autogenerated license module, in case your program
   wants to print out its copyright/licensing information.  If you
   don't set this option, no license module will be generated.
-copyright/short
+copyright.short
   A list of paragraphs (separated by blank lines) containing your
   short copyright/license blurb.  This blurb is used in the pyfile's
-  ``short_license`` function (see `files/pyfile`).  This exists
+  ``short_license`` function (see `files.pyfile`).  This exists
   because some programs print a short license blurb on startup, where
   the full file-topping blurb may be overkill.
-copyright/long
+copyright.long
   A list of paragraphs (separated by blank lines) containing your long
   copyright/license blurb.  This blurb is used to replace copyright
   blurbs in your source files.
