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 v1.7.9.6 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.7.9.5
--------------------
* "git merge $tag" to merge an annotated tag always opens the editor
during an interactive edit session. v1.7.10 series introduced an
environment variable GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT to help older scripts decline
this behaviour, but the maintenance track should also support it.
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
