doc: update README
* README: (Reporting bugs): List the bug-reporting address here, too,
not just in the following more test-oriented paragraph.
Reported by Tim Mooney.
All changes are no longer listed in version-controlled ChangeLog
files, so note that contributions are attributed in the commit logs.
Mention bootstrap.conf, now that it's the authoritative source of
minimal prerequisite program/version# pairs.
