The Git internal date format `<unix-timestamp> <time-zone-offset>`
fails to parse when the timestamp is less than 100,000,000 (fewer than
9 digits). This happens to avoid potential ambiguity with other date
formats such as `YYYYMMDD`, especially when used with approxidate.
To force the parser to interpret the value as a raw timestamp, it must
be prefixed with `@` (e.g., `@0 +0000`). This behavior was introduced
in 2c733fb24c10a9d7aacc51f956bf9b7881980870 (parse_date(): '@' prefix
forces git-timestamp, 2012-02-02) but was never documented.
Document the `@` prefix in `Documentation/date-formats.adoc` to make
this behavior explicit. Also add test cases to `t/t0006-date.sh` to
verify and demonstrate the difference between prefixed and unprefixed
small timestamps (e.g., `@2000` vs `2000`).

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.
