Jan Niklas Hasse 0f55557728 Add --status flag with Ninja-style variable expansion

Introduces a `--status FMT` command-line flag that configures the
progress status using Ninja's regular `$var`/`${var}` syntax with
descriptive variable names ($finished, $total, $progress, $elapsed,
etc.) instead of the `%`-escapes used by `NINJA_STATUS`. When passed,
it takes precedence over `NINJA_STATUS`; the env-var path is left
unchanged for backwards compatibility.

README.md

This directory contains the Ninja manual and support files used in building it. Here's a brief overview of how it works.

The source text, manual.asciidoc, is written in the AsciiDoc format. AsciiDoc can generate HTML but it doesn't look great; instead, we use AsciiDoc to generate the Docbook XML format and then provide our own Docbook XSL tweaks to produce HTML from that.

In theory using AsciiDoc and DocBook allows us to produce nice PDF documentation etc. In reality it's not clear anyone wants that, but the build rules are in place to generate it if you install dblatex.
