rust-status: add bare `hg status` support in hg-core

A lot of performance remains to be gained, most notably by doing more things
in parallel, but also by caching, not falling back to Python but switching
to another regex engine, etc..

I have measured on multiple repositories that this change, when in combination
with the next two patches, improve bare `hg status` performance, and has no
observable impact when falling back (because it does so early).

On the Netbeans repository:
C: 840ms
Rust+C: 556ms

Mozilla Central with the one pattern that causes a fallback removed:
C: 2.315s
Rust+C: 1.700 s

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:
