Yuxuan 'fishy' Wang 4f5ad9d313 Use buck rule for ReleaseNotes instead of Makefile
This eliminates the last Makefile in our code base.

Also change the section style within ReleaseNotes from asciidoc style to
asciidoctor style.

Also I feel that put images/link.png under ReleaseNotes and deal with
all the resource packing is too stupid, so I used the unicode emoji
instead of the picture ("🔗"). If this is too crazy, we can also use "#"
instead :) This also affects documentation rendering.

Other side effects:

1. The css of release notes switched from default asciidoc css into
default asciidoctor css.
2. The section anchors for ReleaseNotes/index.html changed from "2_13"
to "s2_13", because asciidoctorj is unhappy with anchors without
letters.

= Release notes for Gerrit 2.1.6.1
Gerrit 2.1.6.1 is now available:
link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.6.1.war[https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.6.1.war]
== Schema Change
If upgrading from 2.1.6, there are no schema changes. Replace the
WAR and restart the daemon.
If upgrading from 2.1.5 or earlier, there are schema changes.
To upgrade:
----
java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path
----
== New Features
* Display the originator of each access rule
+
The project access panel now shows which project each rule inherits
from. This can be informative when the inheritance chain is more
than 1 project deep (for example C inherits from B, which inherits
from A, which inherits from \-- All Projects \--).
* Improved user->gerrit push speed
+
Pushing changes for review (or directly to a branch) should be
quicker now, especially if the project contains many changes.
* Allow Owner permission to inherit
+
The project Owner permission can now be inherited from any parent
project, provided that the parent project is not the root level
\-- All Projects \--.
== Bug Fixes
* Fix disabled intraline difference checkbox
+
Intraline difference couldn't be enabled once it was disabled by
a user in their user preferences. Fixed.
* Fix push over HTTP
+
Users couldn't push to Gerrit over http://, due to a bug in the
way user authentication was handled for the request. Fixed.
* issue 751 Update displayed owner group after group rename
+
The group owner field didn't update when a group was self-owned,
and the self-owned group was renamed. This left the owner name
at the old name, leaving the user to wonder if the group owner was
also reassigned by another user. Fixed.
* init: Fix string out of bounds when importing projects
+
Project importing died when the top level directory contained a
".git" directory (usually by accident by the site administrator).
Fixed.
