web: provide diff summary to the changeset page

This is the same message displayed at the end of the "diff --stat" command.
For example, "9 files changed, 1651 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)".

The webutil.diffstatgen function allows the diffstat data to be lazily
calculated only once and then re-used.

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.
