revset: extract a helper to parse integer range

It's getting common. As a first step, this patch adds getintrange() and
makes followlines() use it.

I wanted to unify the error messages to make the function interface simple,
but I failed to phrase it briefly.

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.
