run-tests: merge MercurialTest into Test

Now that we execute all tests via unittest, the MercurialTest wrapper is
not necessary. This patches moves the logic from MercurialTest into Test
and makes Test a child of unittest.TestCase.

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.
