brian m. carlson 1f010d6bdf doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files.  While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.

It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering.  Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant.  Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.

Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.

Git 1.7.12.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.12.3
---------------------
* "git fetch" over the dumb-http revision walker could segfault when
curl's multi interface was used.
* It was possible to give specific paths for "asciidoc" and other
tools in the documentation toolchain, but not for "xmlto".
* "gitweb" did not give the correct committer timezone in its feed
output due to a typo.
* The "-Xours" (and similarly -Xtheirs) backend option to "git
merge -s recursive" was ignored for binary files. Now it is
honored.
* The "binary" synthetic attribute made "diff" to treat the path as
binary, but not "merge".
Also contains many documentation updates.
