paths: add an argument to format the suboption display

We will use it in the next function to the delta policy display. It could also
be use to deal with the other special case in the command code, but that is
unnecessary churn for stable so that part will go on default.

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.
