doc: convert manual from Texinfo to AsciiDoc

Split and convert the manual into four AsciiDoc documents, a document
about installation and three documents in the manpage type for
chrony.conf, chronyd and chronyc. The minimal man pages that were
maintained separately from the manual are replaced by full man pages
generated from AsciiDoc. Info files will no longer be provided.

Some parts of the manual are rewritten, updated or trimmed. The
introduction chapter is partially merged with README. The chapter about
typical operating scenarios is included in the chrony.conf man page.

When you are reporting a bug, please send us all the information you can.
Unfortunately, chrony has proven to be one of those programs where it is very
difficult to reproduce bugs in a different environment. So we may have to
interact with you quite a lot to obtain enough extra logging and tracing to
pin-point the problem in some cases. Please be patient and plan for this!
