Marc Abramowitz 7f81b32d7b README.rst: Fix links
that were broken by Markdown => reST conversion, by removing all double
backquotes. I don't think reST allows double backquote (code font)
nested inside a link.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Testing an HTTP Library can become difficult sometimes.
`RequestBin <http://requestb.in>`__ is fantastic for testing POST
requests, but doesn't let you control the response. This exists to cover
all kinds of HTTP scenarios. Additional endpoints are being considered.
All endpoint responses are JSON-encoded.
