largefiles: avoid checking requirements on every command

When largefiles is enabled, commands on large repositories which don't
require largefiles could be slowed down substantially. Disable
checking this for every command.

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.
