Francesco Montorsi b6ca9b2983 Feature: modernize API documentation
* migrate from the old, unmaintained "asciidoc-py" tool to the new "asciidoctor" generator
* migrate from asciidoc-py syntax to the modern Asciidoc syntax (especially page titles and section titles)
* remove the need of "xmlto" utility to create the manpage output; use asciidoctor for that
* add HTML output support to the doc/Makefile by using asciidoctor
* change API documentation files extension from .txt to .adoc to make it more explicit that they are Asciidoc-encoded (as a bonus several IDE plugins will autodetect the .adoc format as Asciidoc)
* remove asciidoc.conf: asciidoctor does not support that; this also required replacing the macro linkzmq into all documentation pages
* add a new Github action CI do deploy to Github Pages the static HTMLs produced by Asciidoctors
* removed references to the "xmlto" and "a2x" tools from the build and packaging systems: Asciidoctor can convert the documentation directly to e.g. pdf (via extended converters) and anyway there was no code/target for using "xmlto" and "a2x" tools anyway

= zmq_atomic_counter_dec(3)
== NAME
zmq_atomic_counter_dec - decrement an atomic counter
== SYNOPSIS
*int zmq_atomic_counter_dec (void *counter);*
== DESCRIPTION
The _zmq_atomic_counter_dec_ function decrements an atomic counter in
a threadsafe fashion. This function uses platform specific atomic
operations.
== RETURN VALUE
The _zmq_atomic_counter_dec()_ function returns 1 if the counter is
greater than zero after decrementing, or zero if the counter reached
zero.
== EXAMPLE
.Test code for atomic counters
----
void *counter = zmq_atomic_counter_new ();
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 0);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 0);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 2);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 3);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0);
zmq_atomic_counter_set (counter, 2);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0);
zmq_atomic_counter_destroy (&counter);
return 0;
