addremove: only query dirstate once per path

Previously the addremove code queried the dirstate 4 times per path. Now it
only does so once.  On a large repo this brings addremove from 9.5 seconds
to 8.35 seconds (12%).

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.
