Projects / New Projects - Give option of importing Github README files into C4P project description

[rmcmillen50]

As as Code for Philly organizer, I want to make it easy as possible to create & maintain projects on cfp.org, so that project entries are kept fresh.

Providing project managers the opportunity to upload / actively link a previously written README or CONTRIBUTING file directly from GitHub into their project's code4philly.org readme.md section would reduce the admin overhead involved in keeping both places current/fresh.

@rmcmillen50 It looks like we have a markdown field that supports a readme field. I think we should go with the following solutions:

• Detect Github url's in the "URL for Developers:" field on the project edit page
• If detected, Show 'Sync README.md'
  -'Sync README.md' button pops up confirm window to overwrite current read me field
  -Ajax request to github fills in field

If you agree, I'll get started on this right away.
