changegroup3: move treemanifest support into _unpackmanifests()

By putting the treemanifest code in _unpackmanifests(),
_addchangegroupfiles() will only be about files again, and we get a
nice symmetry between _packmanifests() and _unpackmanifest(). The
immediate benefit to me is that remotefilelog should not need to be
updated to work with treemanifests. It should also make
server.validate and progress output easier to get right. Probably
bundlerepo too.

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.
