recover: add a --[no-]verify flag

For trivial cases, the cost of the verify run after `hg recover` is getting in
the way. In addition for very large repositories, the cost is simply too high
to be paid, making `hg recover` an unusable commands.

We introduce a --verify flag, set by default. If is automatically associated
with a --no-verify flag that one can use to skip the verify step.

We might consider changing the default behavior in the future. However this is
out of scope for this series.

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.
