History.txt -> History.md, add links & reformat

[MSP-Greg]

Change History.txt to History.md. All listed pulls/issues are now links, and the code snippets are highlighted and indented correctly. Left original text file.

I was in another repo with a similar issue, so I wrote some code to generate the links. I'll post it somewhere.

Not sure if it will render as markdown here, see:

Sorry for my late response.
Could you remove History.txt? We can't maintain both History.txt and History.md.

We also need to update rake-compiler.gemspec. (We may have more files to be updated.)
So please don't add [ci skip].

I'll remove the [ci skip] and delete History.txt.

Looking at the file, the links clutter it, I can place them at the bottom of the doc? Might be a day or two.

.gemspec has s.files += Dir.glob("*.{md,rdoc,txt,yml}") , so no issue with the History files?

We can keep the inline links.
We'll not be able to maintain separated links when we add a new release entry.

https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler/blob/master/rake-compiler.gemspec#L43 may have a problem.

Hey, this is a ✨ sparkling improvement ✨ and I love it. I think that even if the newer releases are not "fully compliant" with links and all, that it would be easy enough to add that after-the-fact for each release. The release cadence is not that high, is it?
