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 v1.6.5.8 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.6.5.7
--------------------
* "git count-objects" did not handle packfiles that are bigger than 4G on
platforms with 32-bit off_t.
* "git rebase -i" did not abort cleanly if it failed to launch the editor.
* "git blame" did not work well when commit lacked the author name.
* "git fast-import" choked when handling a tag that points at an object
that is not a commit.
* "git reset --hard" did not work correctly when GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable is used to point at the root of the true work tree.
* "git grep" fed a buffer that is not NUL-terminated to underlying
regexec().
* "git checkout -m other" while on a branch that does not have any commit
segfaulted, instead of failing.
* "git branch -a other" should have diagnosed the command as an error.
Other minor documentation updates are also included.
