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-whatchanged(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-whatchanged - Show logs with differences each commit introduces
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git whatchanged' <option>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.
New users are encouraged to use linkgit:git-log[1] instead. The
`whatchanged` command is essentially the same as linkgit:git-log[1]
but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges.
The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of
many people who learned Git long before `git log` was invented by
reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it.
Examples
--------
`git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`::
Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
`git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`::
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
'gitk'
