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 v1.7.9.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.9.3
--------------------
* The code to synthesize the fake ancestor tree used by 3-way merge
fallback in "git am" was not prepared to read a patch created with
a non-standard -p<num> value.
* "git bundle" did not record boundary commits correctly when there
are many of them.
* "git diff-index" and its friends at the plumbing level showed the
"diff --git" header and nothing else for a path whose cached stat
info is dirty without actual difference when asked to produce a
patch. This was a longstanding bug that we could have fixed long
time ago.
* "gitweb" did use quotemeta() to prepare search string when asked to
do a fixed-string project search, but did not use it by mistake and
used the user-supplied string instead.
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
