Convert the FAQ to Asciidoctor and remove old help files.
Convert our self-generating FAQ to Asciidoctor via the following steps:
- `help/faq.py > /tmp/faq.html`.
- `pandoc -t asciidoc -o docbook/faq.adoc /tmp/faq.html`.
- Manually clean up the markup using a text editor.
Question and answer content was left intact. Removing or updating
obsolete content will have to be done in a separate change.
The Asciidoctor project uses the .adoc extension, so start using it here
as well.
The contents of the "help" directory appear to have been used for
offline support in help_url.c, but that functionality was removed in
2008 in 242e3b78bc. Its content is covered in the User's Guide and man
pages so remove it.
