6d09e798bc diff-format.adoc: mode and hash are 0* for unmerged paths from index only
In the "Raw output format" section, we mention that the 'mode' and
'sha1' for "src" and "dst" are 0* if "(creation|deletion) or unmerged".
For unmerged entries, 'mode' and 'sha1' are in fact 0* only when we are
looking at the index, i.e. on the left side for 'git diff-files' and on
the right side for 'git diff-index --cached'. Be more precise by
mentioning this, and while at it uniformize the wording of the "work
tree out of sync with the index" case.

4cd5d8a3c8 diff-format.adoc: 'git diff-files' prints two lines for unmerged files
Since 10637b84d9 (diff-files: -1/-2/-3 to diff against unmerged stage.,
2005-11-29), for unmerged entries 'git diff-files' print both an
"unmerged" line ('U'), as well as an "in-place edit" line ('M')
comparing stage 2 (by default) with the working tree. The "Raw output
format" documentation however mentions that all commands print a single
line per changed file. Adjust diff-format.adoc to also mention this
special case, for completeness.

15abb27e3a diff-format.adoc: remove mention of diff-tree specific output
In the "Raw output format" section, we start by mentioning that 'git
diff-tree' prints the hashes of what is being compared. This is only
true in --stdin mode, and is already mentioned in the description of
'--stdin' in git-diff-tree.adoc. Remove this sentence such that we only
focus on the common output between diff-tree, diff-index, diff-files and

63d33eb7f6 doc: check well-formedness of delimited sections
Having an empty line before each delimited sections is not required by
asciidoc, but it is a safety measure that prevents generating malformed
asciidoc when generating translated documentation.

When a delimited section appears just after a paragraph, the asciidoc
processor checks that the length of the delimited section header is
different from the length of the paragraph. If it is not, the asciidoc
processor will generate a title. In the original English documentation, this
is not a problem because the authors always check the output of the asciidoc
processor and fix the length of the delimited section header if it turns out
to be the same as the paragraph length. However, this is not the case for
translations, where the authors have no way to check the length of the
delimited section header or the output of the asciidoc processor. This can
lead to a section title that is not intended.

Indeed, this test also checks that titles are correctly formed, that is,
the length of the underline is equal to the length of the title (otherwise
it would not be a title but a section header).

Finally, this test checks that the delimited section are terminated within
the same file.

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.
