summary: move the parents phase marker to commit line (issue4688)

The phase of the pending commit depends on the parent of the working directory
and on the phases.newcommit configuration.
First, this information rather depend on the commit line which describe the
pending commit.
Then, we only want to be advertised when the pending phase is going to be higher
than the default new commit phase.

So the format will change from

$ hg summary
parent: 2:ab91dfabc5ad
 foo
parent: 3:24f1031ad244 tip
 bar
branch: default
commit: 1 modified, 1 unknown, 1 unresolved (merge)
update: (current)
phases: 1 secret (secret)

to

parent: 2:ab91dfabc5ad
 foo
parent: 3:24f1031ad244 tip
 bar
branch: default
commit: 1 modified, 1 unknown, 1 unresolved (merge) (secret)
update: (current)
phases: 1 secret

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.
