ci: Add markdownlint, test_converting_readme, and build_docs workflows

- markdownlint runs against README.md to avoid any issues with
  converting it to HTML
- test_converting_readme converts README.md > HTML and uploads this test
  artifact to ensure that conversion works fine
- build_docs converts README.md > HTML and pushes the result to the
  docs branch to publish dosc to GitHub pages site.
- Fix markdown issues in README.md
