largefiles: automatically load largefiles extension when required (BC) This is very similar to what we just did for LFS but for largefiles. See recent commit messages for the rationale here. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4713

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.
