releasenotes: command to manage release notes files

Per discussion on the mailing list, we want better release notes
for Mercurial.

This patch introduces an extension that provides a command for
producing release notes files. Functionality is implemented
as an extension because it could be useful outside of the
Mercurial project and because there is some code (like rst
parsing) that already exists in Mercurial and it doesn't make
sense to reinvent the wheel.

The general idea with the extension is that changeset authors
declare release notes in commit messages using rst directives.
Periodically (such as at publishing or release time), a project
maintainer runs `hg releasenotes` to extract release notes
fragments from commit messages and format them to an auto-generated
release notes file. More details are explained inline in docstrings.

There are several things that need addressed before this is ready
for prime time:

* Moar tests
* Interactive merge mode
* Implement similarity detection for individual notes items
* Support customizing section names/titles
* Parsing improvements for bullet lists and paragraphs
* Document which rst primitives can be parsed
* Retain arbitrary content (e.g. header section/paragraphs)
  from existing release notes file
* Better error messages (line numbers, hints, etc)

"""generate release notes from commit messages (EXPERIMENTAL)

It is common to maintain files detailing changes in a project between
releases. Maintaining these files can be difficult and time consuming.
The :hg:`releasenotes` command provided by this extension makes the
process simpler by automating it.

    """parse release notes from commit messages into an output file

    Given an output file and set of revisions, this command will parse commit
    messages for release notes then add them to the output file.

    Release notes are defined in commit messages as ReStructuredText
    directives. These have the form::

       .. directive:: title

          content

    Each ``directive`` maps to an output section in a generated release notes
    file, which itself is ReStructuredText. For example, the ``.. feature::``
    directive would map to a ``New Features`` section.

    Release note directives can be either short-form or long-form. In short-
    form, ``title`` is omitted and the release note is rendered as a bullet
    list. In long form, a sub-section with the title ``title`` is added to the
    section.

    The ``FILE`` argument controls the output file to write gathered release
    notes to. The format of the file is::

       Section 1
       =========

       ...

       Section 2
       =========

       ...

    Only sections with defined release notes are emitted.

    If a section only has short-form notes, it will consist of bullet list::

       Section
       =======

       * Release note 1
       * Release note 2

    If a section has long-form notes, sub-sections will be emitted::

       Section
       =======

       Note 1 Title
       ------------

       Description of the first long-form note.

       Note 2 Title
       ------------

       Description of the second long-form note.

    If the ``FILE`` argument points to an existing file, that file will be
    parsed for release notes having the format that would be generated by this
    command. The notes from the processed commit messages will be *merged*
    into this parsed set.

    During release notes merging:

    * Duplicate items are automatically ignored
    * Items that are different are automatically ignored if the similarity is
      greater than a threshold.

    This means that the release notes file can be updated independently from
    this command and changes should not be lost when running this command on
    that file. A particular use case for this is to tweak the wording of a
    release note after it has been added to the release notes file.
