repoview: split _gethiddenblockers

Split up _gethiddenblockers into two categories: (1) "static' blockers
that solely rely on the contents of obstore and are visible children of
hidden changsets. (2) "dynamic" blockers, appearing by having wd parents,
bookmarks or tags pointing to hidden changesets.

We assume that (1) doesn't change often and can be easily cached with a good
invalidation strategy. (2) change often, but barely produce blockers, so we
can recompute them if necessary.

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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