extensions: allow extending command synopsis and docstring

extensions: allow extending command synopsis and docstring

Mercurial uses a synopsis string and the docstring of a command for the
command's help output. Today  there is no way for an extension that adds
functionality to a command to extend either of these help strings.

This patch enables appending to both the doctring and the synopsis, and adds
a test for this functionality. Example usage is shown in the test and is also
described in the docstring of extensions.wrapcommand().
