minirst: prepare for general types of bullet lists

The old code worked for '-' bullets only, but we can easily support
variable width bullets.

"""simplified reStructuredText parser.

This parser knows just enough about reStructuredText to parse the
Mercurial docstrings.

It cheats in a major way: nested blocks are not really nested. They
are just indented blocks that look like they are nested. This relies
on the user to keep the right indentation for the blocks.

It only supports a small subset of reStructuredText:

- paragraphs

- definition lists (must use '  ' to indent definitions)

- lists (items must start with '-')

- field lists (colons cannot be escaped)

- literal blocks

- option lists (supports only long options without arguments)

- inline markup is not recognized at all.
