histedit: tweak `edit` message to try and guide users to our workflow histedit predates evolve, so it drops you on an _uncommitted_ version of the commit you're amending/splitting, which is in contrast to git which expects you to use `git commit --amend` (I think - I'm basing this on internal bug reports). My hope is that this output will guide users a little more towards the expected workflow. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9560

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
