buildrpm: enhance changelog of the RPM file

Now the changelog is different depending if the parent is tagged:
- for tags, keep the previous content, i.e. changelog of the tags.
- for nightly build, changelog of the changesets since the latest tag

As RPM is expecting strictly descending dates, I have used a python
script to reorder the mercurial changelog.

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.
