feat(home): write about me in markdown, reST or asciidoc

BREAKING CHANGE: Previously LANDING_PAGE_ABOUT was a dictionary that contained html tags. We used it to create landing page. But users have demanded from the very beginning to be able to write the landing page in markdown. This patch adds this feature. But in order to use it, you have to update your configuration. fix #85
