doc: Remove in source documentation and the asciidoc package
The RSB documentation is now in ReST format and part of the RTEMS Documentation project. See https://docs.rtems.org/. Remove support for the GPL based asciidoc tool and remove the asciidoc package from the RSB. Add the Python Markdown package and update the reporter to use Markdown for HTML generation. The resuling HTML report is a single self contained file. Closes #3047.

-The examples presented below were created on a PC running Xubuntu
-Linux 10.04 but should be applicable to any UNIX-based operating
-system.
-
-NOTE: A number of 'asciidoc' and 'a2x' features used in this article
-require newer versions of AsciiDoc -- version 8.6.5 or better is
-recommended. The version of
-http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets[DocBook XSL
-Stylesheets] used was 1.76.1.
-
-TIP: If you are experiencing 'xsltproc' errors when you run 'a2x' take
-a look at Francis Shanahan's
-http://francisshanahan.com/index.php/2011/fixing-epub-problem-docbook-xsl-asciidoc-a2x/[Fixing
-the ePub problem with Docbook-XSL/A2X/Asciidoc] blog post.
-
-
-[[X1]]
-Minimal Book
-------------
-This didactic example contains a title and two chapters. The AsciiDoc
-source is a plain text file named `minimal-book.txt`:
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-= The Book Title
-
-== The first chapter
-Nec vitae mus fringilla eu vel pede sed pellentesque. Nascetur fugiat
-nobis. Eu felis id mauris sollicitudin ut. Sem volutpat feugiat.
-Ornare convallis urna vitae.
-
-Nec mauris sed aliquam nam mauris dolor lorem imperdiet.
-
-== The second chapter
-Ut suspendisse nulla. Auctor felis facilisis. Rutrum vivamus nec
-lectus porttitor dui dapibus eu ridiculus tempor sodales et. Sit a
-cras. Id tellus cubilia erat.
-
-Quisque nullam et. Blandit dui tempor. Posuere in elit diam egestas
-sem vivamus vel ac.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-To generate the EPUB formatted book file `minimal-book.epub` run
-AsciiDoc's 'a2x' toolchain wrapper command from the command-line:
-
- a2x -fepub -dbook minimal-book.txt
-
-The `-f` option specifies the output format, the `-d` option specifies
-the document type (book, article or manpage). The optional
-`--epubcheck` option tells 'a2x' to validate the EPUB file using
-http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/[epubcheck]. To generate a PDF
-version (`minimal-book.pdf`) with 'dblatex' run:
-
- a2x -fpdf -dbook minimal-book.txt
-
-The distributed example PDFs were built using FOP -- if you prefer
-http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/[FOP] over
-http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/[dblatex] use:
-
- a2x -fpdf -dbook --fop minimal-book.txt
-
-You can also generate an HTML formatted book, either using DocBook XSL
-Stylesheets:
-
- a2x -fxhtml -dbook minimal-book.txt
-
-or directly using the 'asciidoc' command:
-
- asciidoc -dbook minimal-book.txt
-
-[NOTE]
-======
-The http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/a2x.1.html[a2x toolchain
-wrapper] uses the following programs (most will be available
-prepackaged for your Linux distribution):
-
-- http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/[xsltproc]
-- http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/[DocBook XSL
- Stylesheets]
-- http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/[dblatex] (PDF file generator)
-- http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/[FOP] (alternative PDF file
- generator)
-- http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/[epubcheck] (optional EPUB file
- validator)

-The Brothers Karamazov
-----------------------
-'The Brothers Karamazov' is an example of a multi-part book. To
-generate the AsciiDoc source I downloaded the
-http://www.gutenberg.org[Project Gutenberg] plain text source and
-edited it manually (this took around 15 minutes). To generate the
-`brothers-karamazov.epub` EPUB file run this command:
-
- a2x brothers-karamazov.txt

-- The book, book part and chapter titles have been edited to conform

- title conventions].
-
-- Book part titles must be level zero titles:
-
- = Book title (level 0)
- = Part one title (level 0)
- == Chapter 1 title (level 1)
- :
-
-- Sub-chapter levels can be accommodated with `===`, `====` and
- `=====` title prefixes.
-
-- In this example the 'Project Gutenberg' front matter was put in the
- untitled preface inside an AsciiDoc literal block.
-
-- The comment lines starting with `// a2x:` contain 'a2x' command
- options for this document (it's easier to put them in the document
- once than type them every time on the command-line).
-
-- A number of 'xsltproc' options are passed to 'a2x' to suppress book
- part, chapter and section numbering.
-
-- Setting the AsciiDoc 'plaintext' attribute suppresses most of
- http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_text_formatting[AsciiDoc's
- text formatting] and substitution conventions, this allows large
- amounts of text to be imported with little or no manual editing.
-
- * Once you have defined the AsciiDoc 'plaintext' attribute the only
- requisite manual editing will be to format the titles and rectify
- the odd paragraph being interpreted as some other AsciiDoc block
- element.
- * In the combined 49 thousand lines of imported 'Sherlock Holmes'
- and 'Brothers Karamazov' text I only encountered two
- misinterpreted list items, neither affected the rendered output or
- necessitated editing.
- * You can selectively enable and disable the 'plaintext' attribute
- throughout your document using AsciiDoc
- http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#X18[attribute
- entries].

- containing DocBook markup for the front cover image and the Project
- Gutenberg frontmatter. DocBook XSL Stylesheets identifies the book
- cover image by the `role="cover"` attribute in the DocBook
- `mediaobject` element.
-
-`adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.css`::
- CSS rules for styling the page layout. The design is based on the
- http://epubzengarden.com[ePub Zen Garden] 'Gbs' style. Because this
- file is not named `docbook-xsl.css` the name must be specified
- explicitly using the 'a2x' `--stylesheet` option.
-
-`underline.png`::
- A title underline image that is used by the CSS stylesheet. This

-
-The manual editing of imported plain text involves formatting the
-title and chapter names as
-http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#X17[AsciiDoc titles]
-(in this example we've used the 'single line' title format). Sherlock
-Holmes only has two title levels:

-Styling your books
-------------------
-You can customize the appearance of a document with CSS. CSS file.
-Either create your own or copy and edit the existing default
-`docbook-xsl.css` file (located in the AsciiDoc `stylesheets`
-configuration directory) then place it in the same directory as your
-AsciiDoc source file. Use the 'a2x' `--stylesheet` option if you want
-to use a different stylesheet file. Take a look at the
-`adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.css` CSS file.
-
-There are some great examples of EPUB book styles at
-http://epubzengarden.com/[ePub Zen Garden].
-
-
-Including embedded fonts
-------------------------
-See http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/faq.html#X5[this FAQ].
-
-
-Reading EPUB documents
-----------------------
-My current favorite software epub reader is the
-http://www.epubread.com/en/[Firefox EPUBReader addon]. EPUBReader
-honors the book's CSS styling rules and renders the page as the author
-intended (many EPUB readers only process a sub-set of CSS styling
-rules).
-
-Browsers are a natural fit for EPUB (EPUB is just a bunch of zipped
-XHTML files) -- I'd love to see browsers support EPUB natively.
-
-As of writing this article most eBook readers (with the notable
-exception of Amazon's Kindle) support the EPUB format.
-
-
-Non-fiction Books and Manuals
------------------------------
-AsciiDoc supports a rich set of markup conventions and can generate
-reference works and technical manuals complete with tables,
-illustrations, indexes, bibliographies and appendices. All the
-examples on the http:///www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/[AsciiDoc web site]
-can be formatted as EPUB eBooks.
-
