changelog: move branchinfo to changelogrevision

The function parses the extra dictionary after looking up the
changelogrevision. To avoid duplicated look up, it is better to provide
it as property of changelogrevision instead. Keep the function for a
release cycle as at least the topic extension depends on 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:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
