'fetch.followRemoteHEAD' is added as a generic setting used by all
remotes for which 'remote.<name>.followRemoteHEAD' is undefined. If
both variables are undefined, a builtin default of "create" is in
effect, matching the previous behavior.
As mentioned in the previous patch, 'fetch.followRemoteHEAD' supports
all of the values that its 'remote' counterpart does _except_
warn-if-not-$branch, due to its tighter coupling to individual remote
repositories.
This setting interacts with the do_fetch mechanism in the same way as
the previous does, but there are opportunities for improved
user-experience discussed in [1]. See the included NEEDSWORK comment as
well.
Documentation and advice messages for both of the followRemoteHEAD
variables are reworded to better capture the relationship between the
two.
The added tests assert feature parity between the two followRemoteHEAD
variables, as well as the fact that 'remote.<name>.followRemoteHEAD'
always supersedes this new configurable default.

The --negotiation-tip option to 'git fetch' and 'git pull' allows users
to specify that they want to focus negotiation on a small set of
references. This is a _restriction_ on the negotiation set, helping to
focus the negotiation when the ref count is high. However, it doesn't
allow for the ability to opportunistically select references beyond that
list.
This subtle detail that this is a 'maximum set' and not a 'minimum set'
is not immediately clear from the option name. This makes it more
complicated to add a new option that provides the complementary behavior
of a minimum set.
For now, create a new synonym option, --negotiation-restrict, that
behaves identically to --negotiation-tip. Update the documentation to
make it clear that this new name is the preferred option, but we keep
the old name for compatibility. Mark --negotiation-tip as an alias of the
new, preferred option.
Update a few warning messages with the new option, but also make them
translatable with the option name inserted by formatting. At least one
of these messages will be reused later for a new option.

- 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 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.
