revlogv2: delay the update of the changelog docket to transaction end

This prevent external reader to see the transaction content before it is
commited. However this also prevent the hooks to see the transaction content.
We will fix this in later changesets.

We have to temporarily suppress the error output of the command ran during the
transaction as they sometimes get confused about unknown working directory and
sometimes issue message on std-err in unspecified order.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10629

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:

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