Minor update to thanks file

I've declared myself the IOCCC's resident corrections officer and
according to Landon I'm a fine one at that.

I also elaborated on the reason for fgets() change but also added a note
that in some cases it's not possible or ideal and in some cases it's not
easy especially due to the annoying fact that for 'compatibility'
reasons fgets() retains the newline and gets() does not.

Cody, being the IOCCC's resident corrections officer :-) (and a fine one at
that, according to us :-) ), made many, many typ0 (... :-) ) fixes throughout

He also updated the formatting of the README.md files (after renaming the old
files to README.md) to proper markdown.

In some entries this change is not possible, in one-liners it might make them
too long and in some entries it's more complicated than others because of the
annoying fact that for '"compatibility" reasons' `fgets()` retains the newline
and `gets()` does not. Nevertheless some of the entries have been updated this
way for the reasons described above and in the [FAQ](/faq.md).
