run-tests: use a small timeout for chg instance

There is case where the test runner fails to clean up the temporary files in
that case, spawned chg instance can stay around for 1 hours. Getting them to
shut down sooner cannot hurt.

(We should also use a more robust approach for this cleanup)

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.
