histedit: let the state expose a context but serialize correctly to nodes
The histedit code often expects a context. However histedit hands
around the tuple for the serialization and therefore hand over a
parentctxnode. This leads to code having to return a context based
on the parentctxnode. We let the state only return a context but
correctly serialize and deserialze to a node.
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.
