tests: use system hg only if changelog or dirstate can't be read
The bundled hg should work flawlessly in most cases. Make it depend on
the external installation only if necessary since we can't control the
whole environment.
This patch doesn't implement the "exit 80" idea proposed by Jun. I don't
want to keep the capability checking sync with the actual tests.
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.
