remove python requirement from main page, moving to downloads page

There was some discussion of this on [e-mail], but with no
consensus.  Since none of the leading binary packages on the web site
(unix-like distros excepted) require a separate Python installation, I
preferred the idea of simply not mentioning the requirement at the main
page.  I've moved it to the downloads page, which allows us to explicate
a bit more as well.

import markdown as _markdown
from jinja2 import Markup

md = _markdown.Markdown(extensions=['toc'], safe_mode=False)

def mdown(value):
    return Markup(md.convert(value))
