markup/asciidoc: Add support for .TableOfContents

Fill the .TableOfContents template variable when writing Asciidoc content.
This is done by letting Asciidoc render its TOC as HTML, then extract this
HTML rendered TOC, parse it into a tableofcontents.Root and finally remove
it from the HTML content.
This aims to stay in the logic that the Asciidoc parsing is entirely done
by the external helper.

+In the header of your content file, specify the Asciidoc TOC directives, by using the macro style:

+== Introduction
+
+One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin.
+
+== My Heading
+
+He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment.
+
+=== My Subheading
+
+A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table - Samsa was a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops

+Hugo will take this Asciddoc and create a table of contents store it in the page variable `.TableOfContents`, in the same as described for Markdown.
