[PATCH 3/4] strbuf.h: format asciidoc code blocks as 4-space indent

This is much easier to read when the whole thing is stuffed inside a comment block. And there is precedent for this convention in markdown (and just in general ascii text).

As a side note, I actually find markdown much more pleasant to read and
write than asciidoc. I think the output is not always as nice, as it
does not have some of the structured elements that let us produce nice
manpages, for example. But I wonder if it would be a better choice for
formatting API documentation.

Not something that is really relevant to this series, but just food for thought if we do end up with an extract+format tool.
