tests: cleanup of svn url handling

The subversion tests used different tricks to create properly encoded URLs,
partly due to partial support for different ways of running the tests on
windows. Now we only need/support one way of running the tests on windows.

Windows URLs should look like 'file:///c:/foo%20bar' and on Unix platforms
like 'file:///tmp/baz'.

'pwd' in the test framework will on Windows emit paths like 'c:/foo bar'.
Explicit handling of backslashes in paths is thus no longer needed and is
removed.  Paths on windows do however need an extra '/' compared to other
platforms.

This change makes test-subrepo-svn.t pass on windows with msys. Other tests
might need more work.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
