[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Shortest RFC ever: I propose we rename files using `.TXT` extension to use `.txt`

[Nico Weber via cfe-dev]

`svn mv -m "Rename Intrin.h to intrin.h, that's how all the documentation
calls it."
https://nico@llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/lib/Headers/Intrin.h
https://nico@llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/lib/Headers/intrin.h`
