rust-changelog: accessing the index

The `Index` object is currently the one providing all DAG related
algorithms, starting with simple ancestors iteration up to more
advanced ones (ranges, common ancestors…).

From pure Rust code, there was no way to access the changelog index for
a given `Repository`, probably because `rhg` does not use any such algorithm
yet.

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.
