docs: explain --hidden option

Also move the discussion of revision numbers up, and splice the
explanation of --hidden into it.

+Understanding revision numbers and hidden changesets
+====================================================
+
+As the name implies, hidden changesets are normally not visible. If
+you run ``hg log`` on the repository from Figure 2, Mercurial will
+show revisions 0 and 3, but not 1 and 2. That's something you don't
+see with plain vanilla Mercurial—normally, revision *N* is always
+followed by revision *N* + 1.
+
+This is just the visible manifestation of hidden changesets. If
+revision 0 is followed by revision 3, that means there are two hidden
+changesets, 1 and 2, in between.
+
+To see those hidden changesets, use the ``--hidden`` option::

+Note that changeset IDs are still the permanent, immutable identifier
+for changesets. Revision numbers are, as ever, a handy shorthand that
+work in your local repository, but cannot be used across repositories.
+They also have the useful property of showing when there are hidden
+changesets lurking under the covers, which is why this document uses
+revision numbers.

-If you're trying these examples on your own, especially using ``hg
