add removed files to the changelog file list - this should allow better detection of removed file when walking in the history (like hg log) it doesn't help for the fast path of hg log where we only look at the filelog - users of the changelog file list shouldn't assume anymore that the file still exist (anyway it won't be found in the manifest like in 5ecf05541e11) - fix the tests (some hashes changed)

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
