Format fix 1980s and 1990s README.md files
I also updated the todo.md file as I left some things out that have to be done. I only explicitly named one thing but when I go over them as a final pass I will address the things in question (some will require discussion).

This year marked an all time high for number of entries as well as the

received. For folks who wonder, we can say that we consumed

about 2000 pages of output (printing between 2 and 4 normal

pages per side) during the judging process this year.
