Since commit 8ccc75c245 (remote: announce removal of "branches/" and
"remotes/", 2025-01-22) enabling WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES when building git
removes support for reading branches from ".git/branches" and remotes
from ".git/remotes". However those locations are still documented in
gitrepository-layout.adoc even though the build does not support them.
Rectify this by adding a new document attribute "with-breaking-changes"
and use it to make the inclusion of those sections of the documentation
conditional. Note that the name of the attribute does not match the test
prerequisite WITHOUT_BREAKING_CHANGES added in c5bc9a7f94 (Makefile:
wire up build option for deprecated features, 2025-01-22). This is to
avoid the awkward double negative ifndef::without_breaking_changes for
documentation that should be included when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is
enabled. The test prerequisite will be renamed to match the
documentation attribute in a future patch series.

All the documentation .txt files have been renamed to .adoc to help
content aware editors.
* bc/doc-adoc-not-txt:
Remove obsolete ".txt" extensions for AsciiDoc files
doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
gitattributes: mark AsciiDoc files as LF-only
editorconfig: add .adoc extension
doc: update gitignore for .adoc extension
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.
