help: add topic about evolution, based on text from evolve extension I've taken the text produced by `hg help evolution` when the evolve extension is enabled and made that available by the same command with just hg core. Changes I've made: * Added "(EXPERIMENTAL)" to the title. (That doesn't hide the topic from `hg help`, though.) * Replaced old-style `experimental.evolution=<names>` config by new-style `experimental.evolution.<name>=true`. * Replaces a "obsolete markers" by "obsolescence markers". * Removed most content from "Current feature status". When the evolve extension is enabled, its help text takes precedence. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10516

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.
