workingctx: add _prestatus method to call _dirstatestatus

With this patch, we are one step closer to removing 'if ... else' logic in
localrepo.status for testing if the context is the working directory or
not. Future patches will replace those blocks of code with a call to the
context's _prestatus hook so that each context object will do the right thing
depending on the situation.

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.
