We used to assign git.docbook.backslash one of two different values --
one "normal" and one for working around a problem with docbook-xsl 1.72.
After the previous commit, we don't support that version anymore and
always use the "normal" value, a literal backslash.
Just explicitly use a backslash instead of using git.docbook.backslash.
The next commit will drop the definition of git.docbook.backslash
entirely.

We recently regressed our rendering with Asciidoctor of "literal"
elements in our manpages, i.e, stuff we have placed within `backticks`
in order to render as monospace. In particular, we lost the bold
rendering of such literal text.
The culprit is f6461b82b9 ("Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2",
2019-09-15), where we switched from DocBook 4.5 to DocBook 5 with
Asciidoctor. As part of the switch, we started using the namespaced
DocBook XSLT stylesheets rather than the non-namespaced ones. (See
f6461b82b9 for more details on why we changed to the namespaced ones.)
The bold literals are implemented as an XSLT snippet <xsl:template
match="literal">...</xsl:template>. Now that we use namespaces, this
doesn't pick up our literals like it used to.
Match for "d:literal" in addition to just "literal", after defining the
d namespace. ("d" is what
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
uses.) Note that we need to keep matching without the namespace for
AsciiDoc.
This boldness was introduced by 5121a6d993 ("Documentation: option to
render literal text as bold for manpages", 2009-03-27) and made the
default in 5945717009 ("Documentation: bold literals in man",
2016-05-31).
One reason this was not caught in review is that our doc-diff tool diffs
without any boldness, i.e., it "only" compares text. As pointed out by
Peff in review of this patch, one can use `MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1
./doc-diff <...>`
This has been optically tested with AsciiDoc 8.6.10, Asciidoctor 1.5.5
and Asciidoctor 2.0.10. I've also verified that doc-diff produces the
empty output for all three programs, as expected, and that with the
MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING trick, AsciiDoc yields no diff, whereas with
Asciidoctor, we get bold literals, just like we want.

This allows manpages viewed on a tty to render inline literal
text in a manner that is distinct from the surrounding text.
The initial implementation (pre-mailing-list) of this patch
included a conditional variant of the XSLT code in
manpage-base.xsl and use xmlto's --stringparam option to
optionally enable the functionality. It turns out that
--stringparam is broken in all versions of xmlto except for the
pre-release, SVN version. Since xmlto is a shell script the patch
to fix it is simple enough, but I instead opted to use xmlto's
"module" functionality.
Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.
