run-tests: cleanup the "output" directory after the related tests

The output confused the test discovery when left around. And it confuse the
Linux and the Windows one a bit differently, so we better clean it up as it
serve not purpose to keep it around.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
