Add missing list continuation marks ('+') after code blocks and shell examples
so paragraphs render correctly as part of the preceding list item.

The example showing the equivalence between alias.last and
alias.last.command was missing the list continuation marks (+
between the shell session block and the following prose, leaving
the paragraph detached from the list item in the rendered output.

Git alias names are limited to ASCII alphanumeric characters and
dashes because aliases are implemented as config variable names.
This prevents aliases being created in languages using characters outside that range.
Add support for arbitrary alias names by using config subsections:
[alias "förgrena"]
command = branch
The subsection name is matched as-is (case-sensitive byte comparison),
while the existing definition without a subsection (e.g.,
"[alias] co = checkout") remains case-insensitive for backward
compatibility. This uses existing config infrastructure since
subsections already support arbitrary bytes, and avoids introducing
Unicode normalization.
Also teach the help subsystem about the new syntax so that "git help
-a" properly lists subsection aliases and the autocorrect feature can
suggest them. Use utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for column
alignment so that non-ASCII alias names display correctly.

The "do you still use it?" message given by a command that is
deeply deprecated and allow us to suggest alternatives has been
updated.
* kh/you-still-use-whatchanged-fix:
BreakingChanges: remove claim about whatchanged reports
whatchanged: remove not-even-shorter clause
whatchanged: hint about git-log(1) and aliasing
you-still-use-that??: help the user help themselves
t0014: test shadowing of aliases for a sample of builtins
git: allow alias-shadowing deprecated builtins
git: move seen-alias bookkeeping into handle_alias(...)
git: add `deprecated` category to --list-cmds
Makefile: don’t add whatchanged after it has been removed

git-whatchanged(1) is deprecated and you need to pass
`--i-still-use-this` in order to force it to work as before.
There are two affected users, or usages:
1. people who use the command in scripts; and
2. people who are used to using it interactively.
For (1) the replacement is straightforward.[1] But people in (2) might
like the name or be really used to typing it.[3]
An obvious first thought is to suggest aliasing `whatchanged` to the
git-log(1) equivalent.[1] But this doesn’t work and is awkward since you
cannot shadow builtins via aliases.
Now you are left in an uncomfortable limbo; your alias won’t work until
the command is removed for good.
Let’s lift this limitation by allowing *deprecated* builtins to be
shadowed by aliases.
The only observed demand for aliasing has been for git-whatchanged(1),
not for git-pack-redundant(1). But let’s be consistent and treat all
deprecated commands the same.
[1]:
git log --raw --no-merges
With a minor caveat: you get different outputs if you happen to
have empty commits (no changes)[2]

Add a missed backtick to the end of a code segment so that it will be
rendered like preceding examples.
I deeply appreciate the thoroughness of this documentation. I noticed
the formatting discrepancy reading https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config.

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.
