fileset: insert hints where status should be computed

This will allow us to compute status against a narrowed set of files.
For example, "path:build/ & (unknown() + missing())" is rewritten as
"path:build/ & <withstatus>(unknown() + missing(), 'unknown missing')",
and the status call can be narrowed by the left-hand-side matcher,
"path:build/".

mctx.buildstatus() calls will be solely processed by getmatchwithstatus().

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.
