scmutil: teach the file prefetch hook to handle multiple commits

The remainder of the commands that need prefetch deal with multiple revisions.
I initially coded this as a separate hook, but then it needed a list of files
to handle `diff` and `grep`, so it didn't seem worth keeping them separate.

Not every matcher will emit bad file messages (some are built from a list of
files that are known to exist).  But it seems better to filter this in one place
than to push this on either each caller or each hook implementation.

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.
