revlog: add attribute on revlogs that specifies its kind

The sidedata logic needs to check whether the revlog it's working on is a
changelog, a manifest or a filelog.
Furthermore, future versions of the revlog format will most likely see a split
between the three types (i.e. they will store different information), so having
this will be useful for other future endeavors as well.

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.
