interfaces: introduce and use a protocol class for the `charencoding` module
See
f2832de2a46c for details when this was done for the `bdiff` module.
This lets us dump the hack where the `pure` implementation was imported during
the type checking phase to provide signatures for the module methods it
provides. Now the protocol classes are starting to shine, because these methods
are provided by `pure.charencoding` and `cext.parsers`, and references to
`cffi.charencoding` and `cext.charencoding` are forwarded to them as appropriate
by the `policy` module. But none of that matters, as long as the module
returned provides the listed methods.
The interface was copy/pasted from the `pure` module, but `jsonescapeu8fallback`
is omitted because it is accessed from the `pure` module directly when the
escaping fails in the primary module's `jsonescapeu8()`.
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:

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