8922506cb2 Documentation: refactor "howto-index.sh" for out-of-tree builds
The "howto-index.sh" is used to generate an index of our how-to docs. It
receives as input the paths to these documents, which would typically be
relative to the "Documentation/" directory in Makefile-based builds. In
an out-of-tree build though it will get relative that may be rooted
somewhere else entirely.

The file paths do end up in the generated index, and the expectation is
that they should always start with "howto/". But for out-of-tree builds
we would populate it with the paths relative to the build directory,
which is wrong.

Fix the issue by using `$(basename "$file")` to generate the path. While
at it, move the script into "howto/" to align it with the location of
the comparable "api-index.sh" script.

f25f5e61a7 howto-index.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:

for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
   sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f}
done

and then carefully proof-read.

48a8c26c62 Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT
In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps.  Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.

Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation.  The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git".  And document this in the coding
guideline.

Maybe it's time for me to really learn asciidoc.  Also I should do Perl ;-).
