changectx: increase perf of walk function

When running 'hg cat -r . <file>' it was doing an expensive ctx.walk(m) which
applied the regex to every file in the manifest.

This changes changectx.walk to iterate over just the files in the regex, if no
other patterns are specified. This cuts hg cat time by 50% in our repo and
probably benefits a few other commands as well.

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.
