Hello,

This pull request adds Japanese translation of README.md, with the following changes:

  • Change Japanese readme document format from RDoc to Markdown
  • Add translation Rake task, which
    • Record po4a version
    • Translate readme into Japanese

I introduced po4a to manage the translation. If the README.md is updated, please run rake translate. Then the untranslated parts of the README.ja.md will be reverted back to English. So no outdated translations will remain.

To future Japanese translators: my translation might be a bit literal and could be improved with the existing PostgreSQL documentation. Feel free to suggest improvements.

Thank you.

* Change Japanese readme document format from RDoc to Markdown
* Add translation Rake task
  * Record po4a version
  * Translate readme into Japanese

I'm not a big fan of translated documentations, since no one updates the translations after the initial effort. So they are almost certainly outdated. With po4a the situation is a bit different and I hope it works better. Thank you for introducing me to this tool and of course for the translation itself!

@gemmaro In feb64b0 I updated the README. Now I get English text parts as you wrote above when running rake translate. But when I run rake translate I also get a lot of formatting changes in the po files regarding line wrapping.

Can you update the Japanese README for the latest change and show me how you did it?
