2e477d8d71 doc: replace a couple of broken gmane links
Replace a couple of broken links to gmane with links to other
archives. See commit 54471fdcc3 ("README: replace gmane link with
public-inbox", 2016-12-15) for prior art.

With this change there's still 4 references left in the code:

    $ git grep -E '(article|thread)\.gmane.org' -- |grep -v RelNotes|wc -l
    4

I couldn't find alternative links for those.

613416f0be docs/bisect-lk2009: update java code conventions link
The old link just redirects to a big index page. I was able
to find a new link for the original document via Google.

d656218a83 docs/bisect-lk2009: update nist report link
The original NIST press release linked here is no longer
available. But it was just a one-page summary of a larger
planning report; we can link to the report and point people
to the executive summary, which contains the same
information.

Ideally we'd cite it with a DOI, but I couldn't dig one up
for this particular document. I found many URLs pointing to
this report, but they all end up redirecting to this one
(and it looks somewhat official).

e52a53df38 doc: use https links to avoid http redirect
Many sites these days unconditionally redirect http requests
to their https equivalents. Let's make our links https in
the first place to save the client a redirect.

47d81b5c7a doc: more consistency in environment variables format
Wrap with backticks (monospaced font) unwrapped or single-quotes wrapped
(italic type) environment variables which are followed by the word
"environment". It was obtained with:

perl -pi -e "s/\'?(\\\$?[0-9A-Z\_]+)\'?(?= environment ?)/\`\1\`/g" *.txt

One of the main purposes is to stick to the CodingGuidelines as possible so
that people writting new documentation by mimicking the existing are more likely
to have it right (even if they didn't read the CodingGuidelines).

be510e0105 Documentation: fix section header mark-up
Asciidoctor is stricter than AsciiDoc when deciding if underlining
is a section title or the start of preformatted text.  Make the
length of the underlining match the text to ensure that it renders
correctly in all implementations.

f745acb028 Documentation: typofixes
In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about
the following points:

 - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
 - Spell Linux as Capitalized;
 - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

4fccc0494a Documentation: remove stray backslashes from "Fighting regressions" article
The intended text is "it's O(N * T) vs O(N * T * M)".  Asciidoc
notices the spaces around the asterisks so there is no need to
escape them (and if you try, it passes the backslashes through).

69a9cd31b1 Documentation: add "Fighting regressions with git bisect" article
This patch adds an asciidoc version of the "Fighting regressions with
git bisect" article that the author wrote for the Linux-Kongress
2009 (http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009).

This paper might be interesting to people who want to learn as much as
possible about "git bisect" from a single document.

The slides of the related presentation are available at:

http://www.linux-kongress.org/2009/slides/fighting_regressions_with_git_bisect_christian_couder.pdf

But the Linux Kongress people will not publish this paper online because
they print the papers on their UpTimes magazine
(http://www.lob.de/isbn/978-3-86541-358-1). But they don't take away the
rights of the author (which is very nice), so I have the right to publish
it.
