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 v1.7.4.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.4.3
--------------------
* Compilation of sha1_file.c on BSD platforms were broken due to our
recent use of getrlimit() without including <sys/resource.h>.
* "git config" did not diagnose incorrect configuration variable names.
* "git format-patch" did not wrap a long subject line that resulted from
rfc2047 encoding.
* "git instaweb" should work better again with plackup.
* "git log --max-count=4 -Sfoobar" now shows 4 commits that changes the
number of occurrences of string "foobar"; it used to scan only for 4
commits and then emitted only matching ones.
* "git log --first-parent --boundary $c^..$c" segfaulted on a merge.
* "git pull" into an empty branch should have behaved as if
fast-forwarding from emptiness to the version being pulled, with
the usual protection against overwriting untracked files.
* "git submodule" that is run while a merge in the superproject is in
conflicted state tried to process each conflicted submodule up to
three times.
* "git status" spent all the effort to notice racily-clean index entries
but didn't update the index file to help later operations go faster in
some cases.
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
