hardlink: extract topic text logic of copyfiles

The topic text shows whether it's "linking" or "copying", based on
"hardlink" value. The function is extracted so a later patch can reuse it.

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.
