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_msg_init(3)
== NAME
zmq_msg_init - initialise empty 0MQ message
== SYNOPSIS
*int zmq_msg_init (zmq_msg_t '*msg');*
== DESCRIPTION
The _zmq_msg_init()_ function shall initialise the message object referenced by
'msg' to represent an empty message. This function is most useful when called
before receiving a message with _zmq_msg_recv()_.
CAUTION: Never access 'zmq_msg_t' members directly, instead always use the
_zmq_msg_ family of functions.
CAUTION: The functions _zmq_msg_init()_, _zmq_msg_init_data()_,
_zmq_msg_init_size()_ and _zmq_msg_init_buffer()_ are mutually exclusive.
Never initialise the same 'zmq_msg_t' twice.
== RETURN VALUE
The _zmq_msg_init()_ function always returns zero.
== ERRORS
No errors are defined.
== EXAMPLE
.Receiving a message from a socket
----
zmq_msg_t msg;
rc = zmq_msg_init (&msg);
assert (rc == 0);
int nbytes = zmq_msg_recv (socket, &msg, 0);
assert (nbytes != -1);
