Add to metadata 1.3:

Description-File: README(\..+)?

Meaning the description should be read from a file in the same

directory as PKG-INFO or METADATA (including in the .dist-info

directories) and we strongly recommend it be named as README.* and be

utf-8 encoded text.

Description: is the only multi-line field in the metadata. It is

almost never needed at runtime. It would be great for performance and

simplify the parser to just put it in another file.

Mutually exclusive with Description.

May beg for a Summary: tag with a one-line description.
