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.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
