hgext: start building a library for simple hooks

Many workflows depend on hooks to enforce certain policies, e.g. to
prevent forced pushes. The Mercurial Guide includes some cases and
Google can help finding others, but it can save users a lot of time
if hg itself has a couple of examples for further customization.

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.
