ci: shard the test run on mac os X

This should comes with some benefit:
- spread the load across more runner,
- reduce the real-time CI run,
- reduce the "retry" run when we need them.

We start with the Mac jobs, but that would be tremendously useful for Windows
too.

For linux, we need to reduce the startup overhead for this to be worth it.
Building smaller image and speeding up clone should help with that.

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.
