b3ac6e737d doc: fix accidental literal blocks
Make sure that normal paragraphs in most user-facing docs[1] don’t
use literal blocks. This can easily happen if you try to maintain
indentation in order to continue a block; that might work in
e.g. Markdown variants, but not in AsciiDoc.

The fixes are straightforward, i.e. just deindent the block and maybe
add line continuations. The only exception is git-sparse-checkout(1)
where we also replace indentation used for *intended* literal blocks
with `----`.

† 1: These have not been considered:
     • `Documentation/howto/`
     • `Documentation/technical/`
     • `Documentation/gitprotocol*`

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.
