docs: "deprecate" checkchanged and checkconflicts in merge-tool configuration

These settings were replaced by check=changed and check=conflicts in
a912f26777d3. There is no reason to announce two different ways to achieve the
same. The old way should be kept but not announced.

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.
