Ensure better text editor automatic filetype detection
Since we no longer use vim-specific modelines, use the .asciidoc file extension which is, well, reserved for asciidoc formatted files. This should presumably work everywhere without needing editor-specific workarounds and configuration. Also add a shebang to makepkg.conf to indicate it contains bash content.

-Pacman Home Page
-================
-
-A simple library-based package manager.
-
-Introduction
-------------
-pacman is a utility which manages software packages in Linux. It uses simple
-compressed files as a package format, and maintains a text-based package
-database (more of a hierarchy), just in case some hand tweaking is necessary.
-
-pacman does not strive to "do everything." It will add, remove and upgrade
-packages in the system, and it will allow you to query the package database for
-installed packages, files and owners. It also attempts to handle dependencies
-automatically and can download packages from a remote server.
-
-History
-~~~~~~~
-Version 2.0 of pacman introduced the ability to sync packages (the '\--sync'
-option) with a master server through the use of package databases. Prior to
-this, packages would have to be installed manually using the '\--add' and
-'\--upgrade' operations.
-
-Version 3.0 was the switch to a two-part pacman -- a back-end named libalpm
-(library for Arch Linux Package Management) and the familiar pacman front-end.
-Speed in many cases was improved, along with dependency and conflict resolution
-being able to handle a much wider variety of cases. The switch to a
-library-based program should also make it easier in the future to develop
-alternative front ends.
-
-Version 4.0 added package signing and verification capabilities to the entire
-makepkg/repo-add/pacman toolchain via GnuPG and GPGME.
-
-Version 5.0 added support for pre/post-transaction hooks and sync database file
-list operations.
-
-Documentation
--------------

-Man Pages

-There are several man pages available for the programs, utilities, and
-configuration files dealing with pacman.

-Changelog
-~~~~~~~~~
-For a good idea of what is going on in pacman development, take a look at the
-link:https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/[Git summary page] for the
-project.
-
-See the most recent
-link:https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS[NEWS]
-file for a not-as-frequently-updated list of changes. However, this should
-contain the biggest changes in a format more concise than the commit log.

-Source code for all releases is available at
-link:https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/[]. To install, download the newest
-available source tarball, unpack it in a directory, and run the three magic
-commands:
-
- $ ./configure
- $ make
- # make install
-
-You may wish to read the options presented by `./configure --help` in order to
-set appropriate paths and build options that are correct for your system.
-
-Development
------------
-
-Mailing List
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-There is a mailing list devoted to pacman development, hosted by Arch Linux.
-link:https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev/[Subscribe] or
-link:https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/[view the archives].
-
-Source Code
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-Development of pacman is currently done in Git. The central repository is
-hosted by Arch Linux, although some of the developers have their own trees (ask
-on the above mailing lists if you are interested in finding the locations of
-these trees).
-
-The current development tree can be fetched with the following command:
-
- git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git pacman
-
-which will fetch the full development history into a directory named pacman.
-You can browse the source as well using
-link:https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/[cgit]. HTTP/HTTPS URLs are also
-available for cloning purposes; these URLs are listed at the above page.
-
-If you are interested in hacking on pacman, it is highly recommended you join
-the mailing list mentioned above, as well as take a quick glance at our
-link:HACKING.html[HACKING] document.
-link:submitting-patches.html[submitting-patches] is also a recommended read.
-
-Not as familiar with code as you'd like to be, but still want to help out? If
-you speak a foreign language, you can help by either creating or updating a
-translation file for your native language. Instructions can be found in
-link:translation-help.html[translation-help].
-
-Other Utilities
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Although the package manager itself is quite simple, many scripts have been
-developed that help automate building and installing packages. These are used
-extensively in link:https://www.archlinux.org/[Arch Linux]. Most of these utilities
-are available in the Arch Linux projects
-link:https://projects.archlinux.org/[code browser].
-
-Utilities available:
-
-* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/abs.git/[abs] - ABS (Arch Build System), scripts to download & use the Arch Linux PKGBUILD tree
-* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/dbscripts.git/[dbscripts] - scripts used by Arch Linux to manage the main package repositories
-* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/[devtools] - tools to assist in packaging and dependency checking
-* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/namcap.git/[namcap] - a package analysis utility written in python
-* link:https://projects.archlinux.org/srcpac.git/[srcpac] - a bash build-from-source pacman wrapper
-
-Bugs
-----
-If you find bugs (which is quite likely), please email them to the pacman-dev
-mailing last at mailto:pacman-dev@archlinux.org[] with specific information
-such as your command-line, the nature of the bug, and even the package database
-if it helps.
-
-You can also post a bug to the Arch Linux bug tracker
-link:https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=3[Flyspray]. Be sure to file
-bugs under the Pacman project.
