extensions: improve the consistency of synopses

Trying as much as possible to consistently:
 - use a present tense predicate followed by a direct object
 - verb referring directly to the functionality provided
   (ie. not "add command that does this" but simple "do that")
 - keep simple and to the point, leaving details for the long help
   (width is tight, possibly even more so for translations)

Thanks to timeless, Martin Geisler, Rafael Villar Burke, Dan Villiom
Podlaski Christiansen and others for the helpful suggestions.

'''allow the use of MBCS paths with problematic encoding

Some MBCS encodings are not good for some path operations (i.e.
splitting path, case conversion, etc.) with its encoded bytes. We call
such a encoding (i.e. shift_jis and big5) as "problematic encoding".
This extension can be used to fix the issue with those encodings by
wrapping some functions to convert to Unicode string before path
operation.

This extension is useful for:
 * Japanese Windows users using shift_jis encoding.
 * Chinese Windows users using big5 encoding.
 * All users who use a repository with one of problematic encodings on
   case-insensitive file system.

This extension is not needed for:
 * Any user who use only ASCII chars in path.
 * Any user who do not use any of problematic encodings.

Note that there are some limitations on using this extension:
 * You should use single encoding in one repository.
 * You should set same encoding for the repository by locale or
   HGENCODING.

Path encoding conversion are done between Unicode and
encoding.encoding which is decided by Mercurial from current locale
setting or HGENCODING.
