hgweb: display blamed revision once per block in annotate view

I.e. when a revision blames a block of source lines, only display the
revision link on the first line of the block (this is identified by the
"blockhead" key in annotate context).

This addresses item "Visual grouping of changesets" of the blame improvements
plan (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/BlamePlan) which states: "Typically
there are block of lines all attributed to the same revision. Instead of
rendering the revision/changeset for every line, we could only render it once
per block."

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

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.
