createmarkers: automatically record the parent of pruned changesets

We need this information to build the set of relevant markers during
exchanges. This can only be done at the `createmarkers` level since
the `obsstore.create` function does not have a repo and therefore has
no access to the parent information.

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.
