Add user-facing documentation that justifies the values being set by
'scalar clone', 'scalar register', and 'scalar reconfigure'.

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`.

The --maintenance option for 'scalar reconfigure' has three possible
values. Improve the documentation by specifying the option in the -h
help menu and usage information.

When users want to enable the latest and greatest configuration options
recommended by Scalar after a Git upgrade, 'scalar reconfigure --all' is
a great option that iterates over all repos in the multi-valued
'scalar.repos' config key.
However, this feature previously forced users to enable background
maintenance. In some environments this is not preferred.
Add a new --maintenance=<mode> option to 'scalar reconfigure' that
provides options for enabling (default), disabling, or leaving
background maintenance config as-is.

When creating a new enlistment via 'scalar clone', the default is to set
up situations that work for most user scenarios. Background maintenance
is one of those highly-recommended options for most users.
However, when using 'scalar clone' to create an enlistment in a
different situation, such as prepping a VM image, it may be valuable to
disable background maintenance so the manual maintenance steps do not
get blocked by concurrent background maintenance activities.
Add a new --no-maintenance option to 'scalar clone'.

When registering a repository with Scalar to get the latest opinionated
configuration, the 'scalar register' command will also set up background
maintenance. This is a recommended feature for most user scenarios.
However, this is not always recommended in some scenarios where
background modifications may interfere with foreground activities.
Specifically, setting up a clone for use in automation may require doing
certain maintenance steps in the foreground that could become blocked by
concurrent background maintenance operations.
Allow the user to specify --no-maintenance to 'scalar register'. This
requires updating the method prototype for register_dir(), so use the
default of enabling this value when otherwise specified.

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.
