manifest: rewrite pathlen() to not cross entry boundary

Even though the entire manifest data should be terminated by '\0', it seems
not nice to scan '\0' over the entry terminator, '\n'.

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:

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