context: stop setting None for modified or added nodes

Instead use a magic value, so that we can identify modified or added
nodes correctly when using manifest.diff().

Thanks to Martin von Zweigbergk for catching that we have to update
_buildstatus as well. That part eluded my debugging for some time.

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.
