color: don't split colors across lines (which confuses less -R)

Currently, less -R doesn't support colors spanning multiple lines; only
the first line will be colorized.

Instead of allowing colors to span multiple lines, the color extension
now applies colors to each line it receives, even when ui.write() is
given multiple lines in one call.

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.
