rust-chg: add function to send fds via domain socket

As a beginning, I wrote some C.

It's extracted from attachio() of contrib/chg/hgclient.c. Maybe it could
be rewritten in Rust by using the libc (and/or nix) crates, but doing that
wouldn't be trivial as the code depends on CMSG_*() macros. IMO, using C
is better 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.
