Previously BIP-0001 listed in its header preamble that is was a "Standards Track"
type proposal. This conflicts with both its own definition of "Standards Track"
proposal as well as the type listed in PEP-0001 of which BIP-0001 is based on.
Defitions of each type of proposal:
A Standards Track BIP describes any change that affects most or all Bitcoin implementations.
An Informational BIP describes a Bitcoin design issue, or provides general guidelines or information to the Bitcoin community, but does not propose a new feature.
A Process BIP describes a process surrounding Bitcoin, or proposes a change to (or an event in) a process.
Specifically: "Any meta-BIP is also considered a Process BIP."
Based on these definitions BIP-0001 should have always been labeled as a "Process" BIP and this patch corrects this.

From the text: "Some Informational and Process BIPs may also have a
status of "Active" if they are never meant to be completed. E.g. BIP 1
(this BIP)."

A second link to the mailing list was missed and left pointing to the old
list.

This came up on the mailing list.
yyyy-mm-dd (ISO 8601) is the internationally accepted format for numeric
dates. This commit changes all BIPs to use that instead of dd-mm-yyyy.
It also updates BIP 0001 to prescribe the new format.

- Mention github instead of wiki
- Add markdown as allowed format
- Fix some weirdnesses such as "A BIP editor must subscribe to the
gmaxwell@gmail.com list.". Remove the repetition and create a new
section which lists the BIP editors (currently only gmaxwell).
- Prefer discussion on mailing list to forum
