457534d041 progress: pay attention to (customized) delay time
Using one of the start_delayed_*() functions, clients of the progress
API can request that a progress meter is only shown after some time.
To do that, the implementation intends to count down the number of
seconds stored in struct progress by observing flag progress_update,
which the timer interrupt handler sets when a second has elapsed. This
works during the first second of the delay. But the code forgets to
reset the flag to zero, so that subsequent calls of display_progress()
think that another second has elapsed and decrease the count again
until zero is reached. Due to the frequency of the calls, this happens
without an observable delay in practice, so that the effective delay is
always just one second.

This bug has been with us since the inception of the feature. Despite
having been touched on various occasions, such as 8aade107dd
(progress: simplify "delayed" progress API), 9c5951cacf (progress:
drop delay-threshold code), and 44a4693bfc (progress: create
GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY), the short delay went unnoticed.

Copy the flag state into a local variable and reset the global flag
right away so that we can detect the next clock tick correctly.

Since we have not had any complaints that the delay of one second is
too short nor that GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY is ignored, people seem to be
comfortable with the status quo. Therefore, set the default to 1 to
keep the current behavior.

1f010d6bdf doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
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.
