templater: add shorthand for building a dict like {"key": key}

Like field init shorthand of Rust. This is convenient for building a JSON
object from selected keywords.

This means dict() won't support Python-like dict(iterable) syntax because
it's ambiguous. Perhaps it could be implemented as 'mapdict(xs % (k, v))'.

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.
