mangler: stop rewriting string constants to be bytes literals We've rewritten everything, so we no longer require this step. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6973

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.
