Add PuTTY-related entries to README.md

Added entry to the Table-of-Contents as well as instructions for
applying the .reg files found in the repository. Instructions include
directions for importing .reg files as new PuTTY sessions as well as
overwriting the colors for an existing session. Also included
additional recommended PuTTY settings to make the appearance look more
like terminals found on Linux and OS X.

####New Session Method####
This method creates a new blank session with JUST colors set properly.
Download the appropriate `colorscheme.reg` file and import the registry changes by right-clicking and choosing Merge. Choose "Yes" when prompted if you're sure. Color scheme will show up as a new PuTTY session with all defaults except entries at `Window > Colours > Adjust the precise colours PuTTY displays`.
####Modify Session Method####
This method modifies an existing session and changes JUST the color settings.
Download the appropriate `colorscheme.reg` file. Open the file with a text editor and change the underlined portion below to match the session you want to modify:
```
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\Molokai]
- CHANGE TO (EXAMPLE) -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\root@localhost]
```
**NOTE**: Some special characters will need to be changed to their Percent-encoded representation (IE, Space as `%20`). To quickly find the right session name view the top-level entries at `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions\` with `regedit.exe`.
