coal: reuse all templates from paper/map by %including the file

Before, coal/map simply had all the templates copied and pasted from paper/map
file. It was easy to make a change to paper that would get into coal only
partially and just sit there until something like 399e970e35c8 happened.

Let's remove this duplication from coal/map by using %include to reuse
templates from paper/map directly.

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.
