Previously, the syntax-check did not check for the pattern at all,
because the list of files was empty.
Bug introduced when adding the rules in commit 53b4bf3018.
* top/maint.mk (sc_readme_link_install): Change the value of the
variable in_vc_files to contain a pattern for the README file.
(sc_readme_link_copying): Likewise.
Previously, the above rules always passed, because the generated
list of files was empty. Bug introduced when adding the rules
in commit 53b4bf3018.
