narrow: drop support for remote expansion (BC)

Previous patches to validate narrow patterns accidentically dropped
support for the include: syntax that allows patterns to be expanded
from a remote.

This feature was never implemented in core and is only implemented on
Google's custom server. Per @martinvonz's review comment in D4522, it
is OK to drop this feature since it isn't used.

The concept of this feature does seem useful. I anticipate it making
a comeback some day in some shape or form. But for now, let's jettison
the dead code.

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.
