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 v2.14.5 Release Notes
=========================
This release is to address the recently reported CVE-2018-17456.
Fixes since v2.14.4
-------------------
* Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but
we blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git
clone --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has
such a submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such
malformed URLs (e.g. one that begins with a dash).
Credit for finding and fixing this vulnerability goes to joernchen
and Jeff King, respectively.
