manifest: remove addgroup() from manifestlog and imanifestlog

addgroup() is part of the storage interface for manifests.
Unfortunately, we don't yet have a formal storage interface
for manifests. (One will be established in subsequent commits.)

One thing is for sure, addgroup() doesn't belong on imanifestlog -
at least not unless we extend that interface to encompass storage.

For now, let's access addgroup() on the _revlog attribute, just like
we do for tree manifests. Even though this violates visibility,
it is consistent.

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.
