Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list. Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope the file doesn't change. Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely. Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help) don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not like that. This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.
