wireproto: optimize handling of large batch responses

Now that batch can be used by remotefilelog, the quadratic string
copying this was doing was actually disastrous. In my local testing,
fetching a 56 meg file used to take 3 minutes, and now takes only a
few seconds.

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.
