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 v1.7.11.5 Release Notes
===========================
Fixes since v1.7.11.4
---------------------
* The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.
* The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
comparison.
* On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly
when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
did not intend to make.
* When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address
correctly and failed to connect.
* git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
correctly.
* "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state
incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
in unnecessary warnings.
* "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
of supported backends, like "git difftool" does.
* "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a
duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left
behind.
Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
