rhg: Use binary search in manifest lookup

… instead of linear scan, when looking for a single entry based on its path.
Manifest entries are sorted by path, but are variable-size so we can’t use
the standard library’s `[T]::binary_search`. We can still jump to a byte
index and then look around for entry boundaries.

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.
