test-lfs: allow the test server to be killed on Windows

Apparently '$!' doesn't return a Win32 PID, so the process was never killed, and
the next run was screwed up.  Oddly, without the explicit killdaemons.py at the
end, the test seems to hang.  This spawning is just sad, so I limited it to
Windows.

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.
