Motivation / Problem
The licence appearing in the macOS dmg and the Windows installer looks ugly.
Description
This PR converts the markdown licence and readme to RTF for Windows and macOS, or plain text for any other platform. I’m not sure if they’re used in the .deb or similar but they will be in text instead of markdown if they are.
Limitations
The readme isn’t actually used in the installer, but CPack seems to have a reference for it so I’ve included it. It can be removed if need be.
The original .md is still installed - perhaps we should install the .rtf instead?
