subrepo: reset 'self.ui' to the subrepo copy of 'ui' in the hgsubrepo class

Creation of the subrepo's '_repo' object creates a new 'ui' by combining the
parent repo's 'baseui' and reading in the subrepo's hgrc file.  This simply
avoids 'self.ui' and 'self._repo.ui' pointing to different objects, which seems
like a potential source of bugs.

Git and Svn subrepos are unchanged, because they don't have their own ui, and
have always used their parent's for their configuration.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

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.
