changegroupsubset: accept list of per-revlog nodes to include

This will allow strip to include in the temporary changegroup some extra
file/manifest revisions that should be restored after the truncations.

This code doesn't allow specification of changelog nodes since I won't
need that right now, the code wouldn't be tested and it's probably
possible to do something similar enough by using the bases/heads
arguments.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC format, which
is a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit. It's also
convertible to a variety of other formats including standard UNIX man
page format and HTML.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html4 hg.1.txt

(older asciidoc may want html instead of html4 above)
