fix: highlight the required configuration and behavior of the fixer tools

The problem is that `hg help fix` didn't mention *how* to configure the tools,
and while I knew that `{rootpath}` existed in the configuration, I missed that
the tools require reading content from stdin.  (I configured `gofmt` to use
`{rootpath}`, and that had the effect of squashing all changes in a file at `.`
into the first commit and emptying that content from its descendants.)

Basically all this does is put a pointer in the default (command level) help to
the extension level help that mentions the configuration, and moves the
extension level help that documents reading from stdin and writing to stdout to
the top to give it more prominence.  The last sentence is adjusted a bit to
reflect the new location.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
