manifestcache: use `wcache` directory for manifest cache

The manifest full text cache is tightly related to the working copy. We should
use the `wcache` directory for it, instead of the `cache`. Otherwise, multiple
shares would keep overwriting each other cache entry and we loose its benefit.

This is also more consistent with the fact this cache file is protected by
`wlock`.

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:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

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