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 v1.8.5.3 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.8.5.2
--------------------
* The "--[no-]informative-errors" options to "git daemon" were parsed
a bit too loosely, allowing any other string after these option
names.
* A "gc" process running as a different user should be able to stop a
new "gc" process from starting.
* An earlier "clean-up" introduced an unnecessary memory leak to the
credential subsystem.
* "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error
out, but it didn't.
* "git rev-parse <revs> -- <paths>" did not implement the usual
disambiguation rules the commands in the "git log" family used in
the same way.
* "git cat-file --batch=", an admittedly useless command, did not
behave very well.
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
