Document "git worktree add" and use of out-of-tree worktrees with
examples.
* ms/doc-worktree-side-by-side:
doc: git-worktree: Add side by side branch checkout example
doc: git-worktree: Link to examples
The help text and the documentation for the "--expire" option of
"git worktree [list|prune]" have been improved.
* sb/doc-worktree-prune-expire-improvement:
worktree: use 'prune' instead of 'expire' in help text
worktree: clarify --expire applies to missing worktrees
Use 'prune' instead of 'expire' when describing the --expire option's
effect on missing worktrees, since the terminology is clearer.

The `--expire` option for `git worktree list` and `git worktree prune`
only affects worktrees whose working directory path no longer exists.
The help text did not make this clear, and the documentation
inconsistently used "unused" for prune but "missing" for list.
This updates the help text and documentation to consistently describe
these as "missing worktrees".

- 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.
Also add the config section in the manual page and do not refer to the man
page in the description of settings when this description is already in the
man page.

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`.

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.
