rewriteutil: handle dropped commits when updating description hashes

In looking to leverage this with the absorb extension, the old -> new mapping
there allows the new value to be None.  We could filter that out and not pass it
to this method, but it seems worth a message to the user.  (I wonder if these
should be an info or warning, because it's unlikely people are using `-v`
regularly.)

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9181

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.
