hgweb: move entry-preparing code from webcommands to webutils.commonentry()

The new function is used to fill basic information about a ctx, such as
revision number and hash, author, commit message, etc. Before, every webcommand
used to get this basic information on its own using some boilerplate code, and
some things in some places just weren't available.

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.
