formatter: put topic in templatespec tuple

This will allow us to change the initial template reference depending on how
the template is looked up. For example,

  -Tdefault => (ref='changeset', tmpl=None, mapfile='map-cmdline.default')
  -T'{rev}' => (ref='', tmpl='{rev}', mapfile=None)

A literal template given by -T option will be stored as an unnamed template,
which will free up the template namespace so that we can load named templates
from [templates] section of user config.

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.
