- 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.

From user feedback:
- it's confusing that we use both <branch> and <refspec> to refer to the
second argument
- one user is not clear about what `refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*`
is meant to be an example of ("is it like a path?")
The DESCRIPTION section is also doing a lot right now: it's trying to
describe both how the <repository> and <refspec> arguments work (which
is pretty complex, as seen in the DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR section)
as well as how `git pull` calls `git fetch` and merge/rebase/etc
depending on the arguments.
Handle this by moving the description of the <repository> and <refspec>
arguments to the OPTIONS section, so that we can focus on the
merge/rebase/etc behaviour in the DESCRIPTION section, and refer folks
to the later sections for details.
Use the term "upstream" instead of 'the "remote" and "merge"
configuration for the current branch' since users are more likely to
know what an "upstream" is.

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.
