py3: use string for "close" value in commit extras

The extras dict on commits has string keys and values. Before this
commit, we passed "close" as an integer, which Python 2 gladly
coerced to a string during a %s formatting in the bowels of
changelog.py.

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.
