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 v1.7.7.3 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.7.2
--------------------
* Adjust the "quick-install-doc" procedures as preformatted
html/manpage are no longer in the source repository.
* The logic to optimize the locality of the data in a pack introduced in
1.7.7 was grossly inefficient.
* The logic to filter out forked projects in the project list in
"gitweb" was broken for some time.
* "git branch -m/-M" advertised to update RENAME_REF ref in the
commit log message that introduced the feature but not anywhere in
the documentation, and never did update such a ref anyway. This
undocumented misfeature that did not exist has been excised.
