merge: report all files in _checkunknown

When doing hg up, if there is a file conflict with untracked files,
currently only the first such conflict is reported. With this patch,
all of them are listed.

With this patch error message is now reported as

    a: untracked file differs
    b: untracked file differs
    abort: untracked files in working directory conflict with files in
    requested revision

instead of

    abort: untracked file in working directory differs from file in
    requested revision: 'a'

This is a follow up to an old attempt to do this here:

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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
