Add alt code to 1989/ovdluhe + update README.md

The alt code is based on the author's remarks. It allows one to more
easily redefine the macro they refer to (P) in a way that lets them try
it out without having to modify the code.

Updated .gitignore.

Format fixes in README.md.

Run the program this way:
./ovdluhe < textfile
```sh
./ovdluhe < textfile
```
The program stops when it reaches the end of the template buffer
by chance or is killed.
## Try:
./ovdluhe < ./ovdluhe.c
./ovdluhe < ./ovdluhe.c
```sh
./ovdluhe < ./ovdluhe.c

### Alternate code:
The author suggested that one varies the definition of `P` from 2 through 10. As
it's a `#define` it's easy to set up which [Cody Boone
Ferguson](/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson) did for us. To use try:
```sh
make CFLAGS="-DP=9" clobber alt
```
Use `ovdluhe.alt` as you would `ovdluhe`.
