Please remove dependency on asciidoctor #319

Is it not possible to have the releases include the static manpages and such? It seems a bit silly that asciidoctor is required just to make the package.

I already had this for a short period of time, until I was asked by package maintainers to remove it again. See:

I regret moving away from plain ROFF documentation in btrbk-0.26.0: I was hoping to make things easier (e.g. people contributing documentation), but this was not really the case.
