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 2.4.1
Gerrit 2.4.1 is now available:
link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.4.1.war[https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.4.1.war]
There are no schema changes from 2.4. However, if upgrading from
anything but 2.4, follow the upgrade procedure in the 2.4
link:ReleaseNotes-2.4.html[ReleaseNotes].
== Bug Fixes
* Catch all exceptions when async emailing
+
This fixes email notification issues reported
link:https://groups.google.com/group/repo-discuss/browse_thread/thread/dd157ebc55b962ef/652822d6fbe61e71[here].
* Fixed cleanup of propagated SshScopes
+
This improves error reporting in case of email notification errors.
* issue 1394 Fix lookup of the 'Commit Message' file in patch set
+
There is an assumption that the commit message is always first in the list of
files of a patch set. However, there was another place in Gerrit code, which
did binary search through the list of the files, without taking this assumption
into account. In case when a patch set contained a file which lexicographically
sorted before '/COMMIT_MSG' (like '.gitignore' for example) it could have
happened that the commit message was not found and, as a side effect, it wasn't
possible to review it.
* issue 1162 Fix deadlock on destroy of CommandFactoryProvider
* Honor the sendmail.smtpUser from gerrit.config on upgrade
+
If sendmail.smtpUser was not present in the gerrit.config then don't set it in
site upgrade.
* issue 1420 Forge committer bypassed
+
It was possible to forge committer even without having permission for that.
This was a regression from 2.3.
* Make sure the "Object too large..." error message is printed when an object
larger than receive.maxObjectSizeLimit is rejected by Gerrit
* Display proper error if file diff fails because content is too large
* Get around a log4j bug that causes AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread to die and
block other threads
** Make async logging buffer size configurable
** Make logging events discardable, prevent NPE in AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread
