hgext: more patchbomb documentation + Add a description of how to enable this extension + Note which command it provides (it's not very easy to guess that "hgext.patchbomb" enables the "email" command, unless one can read Python sources) + Expand the descriptions of the -n and -m options of "hg email". + Mention that formail is (commonly) part of the procmail package.

Mercurial's documentation is currently kept in ASCIIDOC 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.

To do this, you'll need to install ASCIIDOC:

 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

To generate the man page:

 asciidoc -d manpage -b docbook hg.1.txt
 xmlto man hg.1.xml

To display:

 groff -mandoc -Tascii hg.1 | more

To create the html page (without stylesheets):

 asciidoc -b html hg.1.txt
