a7efb05c81 update patch module terminology
Try to be more consistent with the terminology.  In various places we
call it a "hotpatch module", "hot patch module", or "patch module".  How
about we just call it a "patch module" everywhere?

2d728c4f0d make kpatch-build a first class script
kpatch-build is outgrowing the kpatch script and probably is a better
fit as its own utility instead of being wrapped by kpatch.  Install
kpatch-build into /usr/local/bin, remove the kpatch wrapper around it,
and update the README accordingly.

8085d0402b build and install core module with make
Build and install the kpatch core module with make and make install,
rather than building it every time with kpatch build.

The only downside to this approach is that the user has to make and make
install kpatch every time they get a new kernel.  But this is only
temporary, until the kpatch module is delivered in an RPM.

56e350430b convert README to markdown
This makes it more readable on the github page, since github expects
README to be in markdown format.
