glcpp: Update README file (new specifications and fewer limitations).
The README file had grown a little bit stale. We've been using newer versions of both the GLSL and C99 specifications, so list those. Also, several of the documented known limitations have since been fixed, so remove those.

needs of the GLSL language. The requirements for this preprocessor are
specified in the GLSL 1.30 specification availble from:

This specification is not precise on some semantics, (for example,
#define and #if), defining these merely "as is standard for C++

-standard (for which I had a convenient copy) as available from:

-Known limitations
------------------
-Macro invocations cannot include embedded newlines.
+Any downstream compiler accepting output from glcpp should be prepared
+to encounter and deal with the following preprocessor macros:
-The __LINE__, __FILE__, and __VERSION__ macros are not yet supported.
+ #line
+ #pragma
+ #extension
-The argument of the 'defined' operator cannot yet include enclosing
-parentheses.
+All other macros will be handles according to the GLSL specification

-The #error, #pragma, #extension, #version, and #line macros are not

+Known limitations

+The __LINE__ and __FILE__ macros are not yet supported.
A file that ends with a function-like macro name as the last
non-whitespace token will result in a parse error, (where it should be
