py-3-13: stabilize the docstring output across all supported Python versions
Python 3.13 now trims indents from docstrings at compilation time
(to save space in .pyc), so all of our helptext is affected.
The indentation has never served a user-facing purpose and was more here
because nobody cared enough to remove it: we gain some screen space this way.
Rather than undo the transformation (which isn't really possible since the
transform also deletes leading/trailing whitespace), we align the behavior
of older Python versions with that of 3.13.
Unfortunately, this means breaking some of the translations. I've only
touched the ones that need to work for some tooling tests to pass, but
I do not have the time to fix the rest of them across all languages, since
they cannot be done in an automated way. i18n updates have been basically
abandonned for a good while now, hopefully someone cares enough to bring them
back.

Mercurial ========= Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers. Basic install:: $ make # see install targets $ make install # do a system-wide install $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup $ hg # see help Running without installing:: $ make local # build for inplace usage $ ./hg --version # should show the latest version See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information. Notes for packagers =================== Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
