It seems that the ability to use raw roff codes in asciidoc.conf
was eliminated by docbook-xsl 1.72.0 _and later_. Unlike the
1.72.0-specific XSLT problem, this behavior was not reverted in
later releases.
This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc
attribute (flag) can be reasonably used with docbook-xsl versions
other than 1.72.0.
Also, document which make variables should be set for various
versions of asciidoc and docbook-xsl.
Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

This has no behavior changes for existing uses (make
DOCBOOK_XSL_172=Yes), but it enables new functionality
(ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF=Yes) by divorcing the roff-avoiding parts of
asciidoc.conf from the label docbook-xsl-172.
I like the idea of including "tested with asciidoc/docbook-xsl
version info" in the commit message. It would have been very
helpful if all the previous commits to the core documentation
generation infrastructure carried such information.
