revsetlang: raise ParseError to report invalid format character

It's more common in revset and templater than raising Abort.

I have a couple more patches to address exceptions caused by bad format string
passed to revset() template function.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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