doc: Documentation in Markdown for Depends Dir
Documentation more readable when viewed on Github. Some extra changes by @laanwj: - Make README.usage the default README. This is more convenient from a user perspective. Link to other documentation in this default README - Add list of popular targets for cross compilation, change default to Win64 instead of Win32

-To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
- make
-To build for another arch/OS:
- make HOST=host-platform-triplet && make HOST=host-platform-triplet
- (For example: make HOST=i686-w64-mingw32 -j4)
-
-A prefix will be generated that's suitable for plugging into Bitcoin's
-configure. In the above example, a dir named i686-w64-mingw32 will be
-created. To use it for Bitcoin:
-
-./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/i686-w64-mingw32
-
-No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.
-
-Dependency Options:
-The following can be set when running make: make FOO=bar
-
-SOURCES_PATH: downloaded sources will be placed here
-BASE_CACHE: built packages will be placed here
-SDK_PATH: Path where sdk's can be found (used by OSX)
-FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH: If a source file can't be fetched, try here before giving up
-NO_QT: Don't download/build/cache qt and its dependencies
-NO_WALLET: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet
-NO_UPNP: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling upnp
-DEBUG: disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
-
-If some packages are not built, for example 'make NO_WALLET=1', the appropriate
-options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, --disable-wallet.
-
-Additional targets:
-download: run 'make download' to fetch all sources without building them
-download-osx: run 'make download-osx' to fetch all sources needed for osx builds
-download-win: run 'make download-win' to fetch all sources needed for win builds
-download-linux: run 'make download-linux' to fetch all sources needed for linux builds
