run-tests: define a custom TestSuite that uses _executetests()

We now have a custom unittest.TestSuite implementation that uses
_executetests() and thus knows how to execute tests concurrently.
Running tests in --unittest mode will use this TestSuite.

Since the TestSuite handles concurrency, the warnings around --jobs and
--loop have been removed.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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