changegroup: progress for added files is not measured in "chunks"

The "prog" class cg1unpacker.apply() has the unit set to
"chunks". This is not correct for files, where the file itself is the
unit. The unit is not usually printed, which is probably why this has
not been fixed yet. It can be show with e.g. "--config
progress.format='topic number unit'".

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.
