dispatch: don't stack trace on commands like `hg .log`

This used to stack trace because it raised a util.Abort which wasn't
handled in this block. We now handle it. Additionally, we error out
earlier instead of plodding on and showing the "log" entry of the
plain `hg help` output.

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.
