copies: add a HASCOPIESINFO flag to highlight rev with useful data

If some files changes that may impact copy tracing are detected, we set this
flag. This helps the copy tracing algorithm to skip fetching possibly expensive
data when unnecessary.

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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
