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 v2.15.2 Release Notes
=========================
Fixes since v2.15.1
-------------------
* Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started
rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
optimized again for most trivial cases.
* The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an
HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor.
* Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not
ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been
corrected.
* When "git rebase" prepared an mailbox of changes and fed it to "git
am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened
to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes. This has
been corrected.
* Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the
"--copy" option of "git branch".
* "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change"
triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed.
* The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git
rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped
due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed.
* The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused
when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been
fixed (or "papered over").
* "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream,
which was corrected.
* A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected
their error output. These have been corrected.
* Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as
it was clear what it computed but not why/what for.
* This release also contains the fixes made in the v2.13.7 version of
Git. See its release notes for details.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
