bookmarks: abort directly on invalid name

This consolidates the abort message for a bookmark name containing
invalid characters into one place, and renames the valid() method to
checkvalid() to reflect the fact that it's no longer a predicate.

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.
