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-mailsplit(1)
================
NAME
----
git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] [--mboxrd]
-o<directory> [--] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the
specified directory so you can process them further from there.
IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
patches in the correct order.
OPTIONS
-------
<mbox>::
Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from
the standard input.
<Maildir>::
Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
and new subdirectories.
-o<directory>::
Directory in which to place the individual messages.
-b::
If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
single mail message instead of signaling an error.
-d<prec>::
Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
different precision can be specified for the generated
filenames.
-f<nn>::
Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
start the numbering with 0004.
--keep-cr::
Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
--mboxrd::
Input is of the "mboxrd" format and "^>+From " line escaping is
reversed.
