index: split up nt_init() in two

I'd like to make nt_init() take a pointer to a nodetree to initialize,
but it currently also allocates the nodetree. This patch prepares for
that change by making nt_init() be about initializing an existing node
tree and by creating a new index_init_nt() that creates the nodetree.

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.
