largefiles: look at unfiltered().lfstatus to allow status() to be filtered

The comment about status being buggy with a repo proxy seems to be that status
wasn't being redirected to testing the largefiles themselves- lfstatus was
always False, and so the original status method was being called instead of
doing the largefiles processing.  This is because when the various largefile
command overrides call 'repo.lfstatus = True', __setattr__() in repoview is in
turn setting the value on the unfiltered repo, and the value in the filtered
repo remains False.

Explicitly looking at the attribute on the unfiltered repo keeps all views in
sync.

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.
