[MERGE] (#183391) improve PyPI integration by adding project metadata to setup.py

[Martin Pool]

While I was doing the 1.1 release and updating the docs, I noticed that
we could add more information to setup.py to be automatically included
in our index.

The index entry previously had some text from README.  Rather than
duplicating it, I'v changed setup.py to pull it in from there.

(I think the convention is that setup.py is always run from the source
directory, so openining it in that way is safe.)

As a followon, I see our version number format differs from that
specified in <http://docs.python.org/dist/meta-data.html>, which wants
e.g. '1.1pr1'.  We could change that.  I remember Alexander previously
said that 1.1.0.preview.1 was somehow easier for him to use though...
