index: make "nt_*" functions work on an initialized nodetree

I want to be able to reuse these functions with another nodetree
instance later (for disambiguating node prefix within a revset). That
other nodetree instance won't want to be fully populated from the
index, so this commit moves that part to the callers.

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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
