cmdutil: separate building commit text from 'commitforceeditor'

This separation makes it easier to extend/hook building commit text
from the specified context.

This patch uses 'committext' instead of 'edittext' for names of newly
added variable and function, because the former is more purpose
specific than the latter, even though 'edittext' in 'buildcommittext'
is left as it is to reduce amount of diff.

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:

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