record: refactor the prompt loop

The previous loop was iterating over a mixed header/hunk stream. It may have
been more generic in the sense every item in the stream could trigger a prompt
but it required more work to skip items properly. It can be rewritten in a more
intuitive way by looping on files then looping on hunks.

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.
