Convert this command documentation to the modern synopsis style based on
similar work.[1] Concretely:
• Change the Synopsis section from `verse` to a `synopsis` block which
will automatically apply the correct formatting to various elements
(although this Synopsis is very simple)
• Use backticks (`) for code-like things which will also use the correct
formatting for interior placeholders (`<orderfile>`)
• Use inline-verbatim on options listing

• 026f2e3b (doc: convert git-log to new documentation format,
2025-07-07)
• b983aaab (doc: convert git-switch manpage to new synopsis style,
2025-05-25)
• 16543967 (doc: convert git-mergetool manpage to new synopsis
style, 2025-05-25)

All the final paragraphs on these three options are rendered as
literal blocks. The intent was surely to keep each of them wed to their
respective description list items. But the attempt at maintaining the
indentation level of the block causes each them to be interpreted as a
code block, since code blocks can be represented using indentation.
We need to use list continuation (+) in order to keep them wed to
their blocks.
There is also an unordered list which sandwiches two paragraphs on an
option. We don’t need to do anything about that since it attaches to the
description list item without list continuation (i.e. it is already
correct). But for consistency let’s use list continuation and an open
block on it.

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.
