rust-index: document safety invariants being upheld for every `unsafe` block

We've added a lot of `unsafe` code that shares Rust structs with Python.
While this is unfortunate, it is also unavoidable, so let's at least
systematically explain why each call to `unsafe` is sound.

If any of the unsafe code ends up being wrong (because everyone screws up
at some point), this change at least continues the unspoken rule of always
explaining the need for `unsafe`, so we at least get a chance to think.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
