releasenotes: command to manage release notes files
Per discussion on the mailing list, we want better release notes
for Mercurial.
This patch introduces an extension that provides a command for
producing release notes files. Functionality is implemented
as an extension because it could be useful outside of the
Mercurial project and because there is some code (like rst
parsing) that already exists in Mercurial and it doesn't make
sense to reinvent the wheel.
The general idea with the extension is that changeset authors
declare release notes in commit messages using rst directives.
Periodically (such as at publishing or release time), a project
maintainer runs `hg releasenotes` to extract release notes
fragments from commit messages and format them to an auto-generated
release notes file. More details are explained inline in docstrings.
There are several things that need addressed before this is ready
for prime time:
* Moar tests
* Interactive merge mode
* Implement similarity detection for individual notes items
* Support customizing section names/titles
* Parsing improvements for bullet lists and paragraphs
* Document which rst primitives can be parsed
* Retain arbitrary content (e.g. header section/paragraphs)
from existing release notes file
* Better error messages (line numbers, hints, etc)

"""send ui.log() data to a subprocess (EXPERIMENTAL)
This extension lets you specify a shell command per ui.log() event,
sending all remaining arguments to as environment variables to that command.
Each positional argument to the method results in a `MSG[N]` key in the
environment, starting at 1 (so `MSG1`, `MSG2`, etc.). Each keyword argument
is set as a `OPT_UPPERCASE_KEY` variable (so the key is uppercased, and
prefixed with `OPT_`). The original event name is passed in the `EVENT`
environment variable, and the process ID of mercurial is given in `HGPID`.
So given a call `ui.log('foo', 'bar', 'baz', spam='eggs'), a script configured
for the `foo` event can expect an environment with `MSG1=bar`, `MSG2=baz`, and
`OPT_SPAM=eggs`.
Scripts are configured in the `[logtoprocess]` section, each key an event name.
For example::
[logtoprocess]
commandexception = echo "$MSG2$MSG3" > /var/log/mercurial_exceptions.log
would log the warning message and traceback of any failed command dispatch.
Scripts are run asynchronously as detached daemon processes; mercurial will
not ensure that they exit cleanly.
