Subject: [PATCH] maintainer-makefile: Fix syntax-check rules wrt README.
* 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.
