b635fd0725 doc: log: use the same delimiter in description list
We must use the same delimiter since this is a meant to be a flat
list. Introducing a new legal delimiter like `::` makes an inner
description list:

    ...
    full
    the full ref name ...

        auto
        if the output ...

31d19899c7 doc: log: fix --decorate description list
026f2e3b (doc: convert git-log to new documentation format, 2025-07-07)
transformed the inline description of `--decorate` options to a
description list:

    We also transform inline descriptions of possible values of option
    --decorate into a list, which is more readable and extensible.

But a source code block was used instead of an open block.

03a353bb97 doc: check for absence of the form --[no-]parameter
For better searchability, this commit adds a check to ensure that parameters
expressed in the form of `--[no-]parameter` are not used in the
documentation.  In the place of such parameters, the documentation should
list two separate parameters: `--parameter` and `--no-parameter`.

026f2e3be2 doc: convert git-log to new documentation format
- Switch the synopsis to a synopsis block which will automatically
  format placeholders in italics and keywords in monospace
- Use _<placeholder>_ instead of <placeholder> in the description
- Use `backticks` for keywords and more complex option
descriptions. The new rendering engine will apply synopsis rules to
these spans.

We also transform inline descriptions of possible values of option
--decorate into a list, which is more readable and extensible.

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.
