runrst: improve error message when Docutils is missing

Peter Toft told me he had installed a 'python-doc' package instead of
the correct 'python-docutils' and he suggested that we add the URL to
Docutils in our error message.

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.
