rust-filepatterns: unescape comment character property

There were multiple issues in the original implementation:
 a. the local variable "line" dropped soon after replace_slice() applied
 b. replace_slice() was noop since br"\#".len() != b"#"

This patch uses bytes::Regex::replace_all() since it seems the simplest way
to replace bytes of arbitrary length, and I don't think we have to avoid
using Regexp here.

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.
