Convert doc/*.pod to Asciidoctor. This:
* Means we use the same markup for our man pages, the guides, and
release notes.
* Lets us add versions to our man pages.
* Gives us more formatting options, e.g. AsciiDoc supports `commands`,
nested lists and makes it easy to include version information. The
manpage backend doesn't seem to support tables very well,
unfortunately.
Convert our CMake configuration to produce *roff and html man pages
using Asciidoctor. Add a "manarg" block macro which makes our synopses
wrap correctly.
Similar to the release notes, guides, and FAQ, if Asciidoctor isn't
found the man pages won't be generated or installed.
Move Asciidoctor to the list of package build dependencies in various
places.
This commit includes the conversion script (pod2adoc.py), which will be
removed later.

As noted in "AsciiDoc Recommended Practices" at
https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-recommended-practices/, the
AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor community seems to have settled on ".adoc" as a
file extension and that's the one preferred by the Asciidoctor project.
Update our filenames to match.

Switch the markup text processor for files in the docbook directory from
AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor. Asciidoctor has several useful features (such
as direct PDF output) and is actively developed. It's written in Ruby
but that dependency can be sidestepped with AsciidoctorJ, a
self-contained bundle that only depends on the JRE.
The current toolchain targets require Python, AsciiDoc, DocBook XML,
DocBook XSL, Java, FOP, xsltproc, lynx, and the HTMLHelp compiler:
HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → FOP
HTMLHelp: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
This change removes the AsciiDoc and FOP requirements and adds either
AsciidoctorJ or Asciidoctor + Ruby:
HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: Asciidoctor
HTMLHelp: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
Ideally we could generate all of these using AsciidoctorJ, Java, and
lynx. Unfortunately we're not there yet.
The release notes depend on several macros (ws-buglink, ws-salink,
cve-idlink, sort-and-group). Add Asciidoctor (Ruby) equivalents.
Remove the BUILD_xxx_GUIDES CMake options and add various output targets
automatically. This means that you have to build the various documentation
targets explicitly.
