topic: update topic() revset docstring, mention hg help

I was curious why we don't support glob patterns, only re. But turns out it's
like this in upstream (e.g. branch revset) as well, so let's point to the
relevant help page.

  $ . $TESTDIR/testlib/topic_setup.sh

Code logically equivalent to the following is used in Zsh to show the branch
and topic (if set) in the prompt. If the format of the files is changed in a
way that it breaks the test, a mail should be sent to [e-mail].

  $ get_branch_like_zsh() {
  >     branchfile=".hg/branch"
  >     topicfile=".hg/topic"
  >     if [ -r "${branchfile}" ] ; then
  >         r_branch=$(cat "${branchfile}")
  >     fi
  >     if [ -f "${topicfile}" ] && [ -r "${topicfile}" ] && [ -s "${topicfile}" ] ; then
  >         IFS= read -r REPLY < ${topicfile}
  >         r_branch=${r_branch}:${REPLY}
  >     fi
  >     echo $r_branch
  > }
