[PATCH] stgit: make tutorial a valid asciidoc article

There should be only one level 0 title in an article, so lower ranks of all headers by one. Make capitalization uniform in the headers - level 1 is capitalized, but level 2 is not. Create a new level 1 part "Technical Information".

Make ".git/ Directory Structure" a level 2 header and rephrase. asciidoc doesn't like headers starting with a dot.
