releasenotes: command to manage release notes files
Per discussion on the mailing list, we want better release notes
for Mercurial.
This patch introduces an extension that provides a command for
producing release notes files. Functionality is implemented
as an extension because it could be useful outside of the
Mercurial project and because there is some code (like rst
parsing) that already exists in Mercurial and it doesn't make
sense to reinvent the wheel.
The general idea with the extension is that changeset authors
declare release notes in commit messages using rst directives.
Periodically (such as at publishing or release time), a project
maintainer runs `hg releasenotes` to extract release notes
fragments from commit messages and format them to an auto-generated
release notes file. More details are explained inline in docstrings.
There are several things that need addressed before this is ready
for prime time:
* Moar tests
* Interactive merge mode
* Implement similarity detection for individual notes items
* Support customizing section names/titles
* Parsing improvements for bullet lists and paragraphs
* Document which rst primitives can be parsed
* Retain arbitrary content (e.g. header section/paragraphs)
from existing release notes file
* Better error messages (line numbers, hints, etc)

A fix with a single line results in a bullet point in the appropriate section
$ touch fix1
$ hg -q commit -A -l - << EOF
> single line fix
>
> .. fix::
>
> Simple fix with a single line content entry.
> EOF
$ hg releasenotes -r . $TESTTMP/relnotes-single-line
$ cat $TESTTMP/relnotes-single-line
Bug Fixes
=========
* Simple fix with a single line content entry.
A fix with multiple lines is handled correctly
$ touch fix2
$ hg -q commit -A -l - << EOF
> multi line fix

> .. fix::
>
> First line of fix entry.
> A line after it without a space.

> A new paragraph in the fix entry. And this is a really long line. It goes on for a while.

$ hg releasenotes -r . $TESTTMP/relnotes-multi-line
$ cat $TESTTMP/relnotes-multi-line
Bug Fixes
=========
* First line of fix entry. A line after it without a space.
A new paragraph in the fix entry. And this is a really long line. It goes on
for a while. And it wraps around to a new paragraph.
A release note with a title results in a sub-section being written
$ touch fix3
$ hg -q commit -A -l - << EOF
> fix with title
>
> .. fix:: Fix Title
>
> First line of fix with title.
>
> Another paragraph of fix with title. But this is a paragraph

Fix Title
---------
First line of fix with title.
Another paragraph of fix with title. But this is a paragraph with multiple
lines.

Formatting of multiple bullet points works

$ touch fix3
$ hg -q commit -A -l - << EOF

> third fix
> EOF
$ hg releasenotes -r 'all()' $TESTTMP/relnotes-multiple-bullets
$ cat $TESTTMP/relnotes-multiple-bullets
Bug Fixes
=========
* first fix
* second fix
Second paragraph of second fix.
* third fix
$ cd ..
Formatting of multiple sections works
$ hg init multiple-sections
$ cd multiple-sections
$ touch fix1
$ hg -q commit -A -l - << EOF

New Features
============
