absorb: prompt user to accept absorb changes by default

Change the default absorb behaviour to print the changes out and then prompt
the user if they want to absorb the changes or not.

Providing the `-p` option still prints the result and exits.  A new `-a` option
is provided which applies the changes without printing them, giving the
equivalent of the old behaviour.

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.
