help: support loading sub-topics

If a sub-topic/section is requested and the main topic corresponds to
a topic with sub-topics, we now look for and return content for a
sub-topic if found.

With this patch, `hg help internals.X` now works. hgweb does not yet
render sub-topics, however.

   Using Additional Features
   """""""""""""""""""""""""
   
       Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
       extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to existing
       commands, change the default behavior of commands, or implement hooks.
   
       To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
       Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
       like this:
   
         [extensions]
         foo =
   
       You may also specify the full path to an extension:
   
         [extensions]
         myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
   
       See "hg help config" for more information on configuration files.
   
       Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can
       increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced usage only; they
       may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such as letting you destroy
       or modify history); they might not be ready for prime time; or they may
       alter some usual behaviors of stock Mercurial. It is thus up to the user
       to activate extensions as needed.
   
       To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
       broader scope, prepend its path with !:
   
         [extensions]
         # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
         bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
         # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
         baz = !
   
       enabled extensions:
   
        children      command to display child changesets (DEPRECATED)
        rebase        command to move sets of revisions to a different ancestor
   
       disabled extensions:

   $ hg help verify
   hg verify
   
   verify the integrity of the repository
   
       Verify the integrity of the current repository.
   
       This will perform an extensive check of the repository's integrity,
       validating the hashes and checksums of each entry in the changelog,
       manifest, and tracked files, as well as the integrity of their crosslinks
       and indices.
   
       Please see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RepositoryCorruption for more
       information about recovery from corruption of the repository.

   $ hg help diff
   hg diff [OPTION]... ([-c REV] | [-r REV1 [-r REV2]]) [FILE]...
   
   diff repository (or selected files)
   
       Show differences between revisions for the specified files.
   
       Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format.
   
       Note:
          diff may generate unexpected results for merges, as it will default to
          comparing against the working directory's first parent changeset if no
          revisions are specified.
   
       When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown between
       those revisions. If only one revision is specified then that revision is
       compared to the working directory, and, when no revisions are specified,
       the working directory files are compared to its parent.
   
       Alternatively you can specify -c/--change with a revision to see the
       changes in that changeset relative to its first parent.
   
       Without the -a/--text option, diff will avoid generating diffs of files it
       detects as binary. With -a, diff will generate a diff anyway, probably
       with undesirable results.
   
       Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff format.
       For more information, read "hg help diffs".
   
       Returns 0 on success.
   
   options ([+] can be repeated):
   
    -r --rev REV [+]         revision
    -c --change REV          change made by revision
    -a --text                treat all files as text
    -g --git                 use git extended diff format
       --nodates             omit dates from diff headers
       --noprefix            omit a/ and b/ prefixes from filenames
    -p --show-function       show which function each change is in
       --reverse             produce a diff that undoes the changes
    -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
    -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
    -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
    -U --unified NUM         number of lines of context to show
       --stat                output diffstat-style summary of changes

   $ hg help status
   hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]...
   
   aliases: st
   
   show changed files in the working directory
   
       Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only files
       that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or the source of a
       copy/move operation, are not listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored,
       -C/--copies or -A/--all are given. Unless options described with "show
       only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used.
   
       Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless
       explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.
   
       Note:
          status may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have changed or
          a merge has occurred. The standard diff format does not report
          permission changes and diff only reports changes relative to one merge
          parent.
   
       If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision. If two
       revisions are given, the differences between them are shown. The --change
       option can also be used as a shortcut to list the changed files of a
       revision from its first parent.
   
       The codes used to show the status of files are:
   
         M = modified
         A = added
         R = removed
         C = clean
         ! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
         ? = not tracked
         I = ignored
           = origin of the previous file (with --copies)
   
       Returns 0 on success.
   
   options ([+] can be repeated):
   
    -A --all                 show status of all files
    -m --modified            show only modified files
    -a --added               show only added files
    -r --removed             show only removed files
    -d --deleted             show only deleted (but tracked) files
    -c --clean               show only files without changes
    -u --unknown             show only unknown (not tracked) files
    -i --ignored             show only ignored files
    -n --no-status           hide status prefix
    -C --copies              show source of copied files
    -0 --print0              end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs
       --rev REV [+]         show difference from revision
       --change REV          list the changed files of a revision

+      Changegroups
+      ============
+  
+      Changegroups are representations of repository revlog data, specifically
+      the changelog, manifest, and filelogs.
+  
+      There are 2 versions of changegroups: "1" and "2". From a high-level, they
+      are almost exactly the same, with the only difference being a header on
+      entries in the changeset segment.
+  
+      Changegroups consists of 3 logical segments:
+  
+        +---------------------------------+
+        |           |          |          |
+        | changeset | manifest | filelogs |
+        |           |          |          |
+        +---------------------------------+
+  
+      The principle building block of each segment is a *chunk*. A *chunk* is a
+      framed piece of data:
+  
+        +---------------------------------------+
+        |           |                           |
+        |  length   |           data            |
+        | (32 bits) |       <length> bytes      |
+        |           |                           |
+        +---------------------------------------+
+  
+      Each chunk starts with a 32-bit big-endian signed integer indicating the
+      length of the raw data that follows.
+  
+      There is a special case chunk that has 0 length ("0x00000000"). We call
+      this an *empty chunk*.
+  
+      Delta Groups
+      ------------
+  
+      A *delta group* expresses the content of a revlog as a series of deltas,
+      or patches against previous revisions.
+  
+      Delta groups consist of 0 or more *chunks* followed by the *empty chunk*
+      to signal the end of the delta group:
+  
+        +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+        |                |             |               |             |           |
+        | chunk0 length  | chunk0 data | chunk1 length | chunk1 data |    0x0    |
+        |   (32 bits)    |  (various)  |   (32 bits)   |  (various)  | (32 bits) |
+        |                |             |               |             |           |
+        +------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
+  
+      Each *chunk*'s data consists of the following:
+  
+        +-----------------------------------------+
+        |              |              |           |
+        | delta header | mdiff header |   delta   |
+        |  (various)   |  (12 bytes)  | (various) |
+        |              |              |           |
+        +-----------------------------------------+
+  
+      The *length* field is the byte length of the remaining 3 logical pieces of
+      data. The *delta* is a diff from an existing entry in the changelog.
+  
+      The *delta header* is different between versions "1" and "2" of the
+      changegroup format.
+  
+      Version 1:
+  
+        +------------------------------------------------------+
+        |            |             |             |             |
+        |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   |  link node  |
+        | (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |
+        |            |             |             |             |
+        +------------------------------------------------------+
+  
+      Version 2:
+  
+        +------------------------------------------------------------------+
+        |            |             |             |            |            |
+        |    node    |   p1 node   |   p2 node   | base node  | link node  |
+        | (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) |  (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) | (20 bytes) |
+        |            |             |             |            |            |
+        +------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  
+      The *mdiff header* consists of 3 32-bit big-endian signed integers
+      describing offsets at which to apply the following delta content:
+  
+        +-------------------------------------+
+        |           |            |            |
+        |  offset   | old length | new length |
+        | (32 bits) |  (32 bits) |  (32 bits) |
+        |           |            |            |
+        +-------------------------------------+
+  
+      In version 1, the delta is always applied against the previous node from
+      the changegroup or the first parent if this is the first entry in the
+      changegroup.
+  
+      In version 2, the delta base node is encoded in the entry in the
+      changegroup. This allows the delta to be expressed against any parent,
+      which can result in smaller deltas and more efficient encoding of data.
+  
+      Changeset Segment
+      -----------------
+  
+      The *changeset segment* consists of a single *delta group* holding
+      changelog data. It is followed by an *empty chunk* to denote the boundary
+      to the *manifests segment*.
+  
+      Manifest Segment
+      ----------------
+  
+      The *manifest segment* consists of a single *delta group* holding manifest
+      data. It is followed by an *empty chunk* to denote the boundary to the
+      *filelogs segment*.
+  
+      Filelogs Segment
+      ----------------
+  
+      The *filelogs* segment consists of multiple sub-segments, each
+      corresponding to an individual file whose data is being described:
+  
+        +--------------------------------------+
+        |          |          |          |     |
+        | filelog0 | filelog1 | filelog2 | ... |
+        |          |          |          |     |
+        +--------------------------------------+
+  
+      The final filelog sub-segment is followed by an *empty chunk* to denote
+      the end of the segment and the overall changegroup.
+  
+      Each filelog sub-segment consists of the following:
+  
+        +------------------------------------------+
+        |               |            |             |
+        | filename size |  filename  | delta group |
+        |   (32 bits)   |  (various) |  (various)  |
+        |               |            |             |
+        +------------------------------------------+
+  
+      That is, a *chunk* consisting of the filename (not terminated or padded)
+      followed by N chunks constituting the *delta group* for this file.

   $ hg help revs
   Specifying Single Revisions
   """""""""""""""""""""""""""
   
       Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
   
       A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
       treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2
       denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
   
       A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier.
   
       A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique
       revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A
       short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one
       full-length identifier.
   
       Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark
       is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated
       with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head of
       that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
       branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":"
       character.
   
       The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
   
       The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision
       of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
   
       The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
       working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
       uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent.

       DAG
           The repository of changesets of a distributed version control system
           (DVCS) can be described as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), consisting
           of nodes and edges, where nodes correspond to changesets and edges
           imply a parent -> child relation. This graph can be visualized by
           graphical tools such as "hg log --graph". In Mercurial, the DAG is
           limited by the requirement for children to have at most two parents.
   
 
   $ hg help hgrc.paths
       "paths"
       -------
   
       Assigns symbolic names and behavior to repositories.
   
       Options are symbolic names defining the URL or directory that is the
       location of the repository. Example:
   
         [paths]
         my_server = https://example.com/my_repo
         local_path = /home/me/repo
   
       These symbolic names can be used from the command line. To pull from
       "my_server": "hg pull my_server". To push to "local_path": "hg push
       local_path".
   
       Options containing colons (":") denote sub-options that can influence
       behavior for that specific path. Example:
   
         [paths]
         my_server = https://example.com/my_path
         my_server:pushurl = ssh://example.com/my_path
   
       The following sub-options can be defined:
   
       "pushurl"
          The URL to use for push operations. If not defined, the location
          defined by the path's main entry is used.
   
       The following special named paths exist:
   
       "default"

   Merge Tools
   """""""""""
   
       To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
   
       A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged file.
       Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common ancestor of
       the two file versions, so they can determine the changes made on both
       branches.
   
       Merge tools are used both for "hg resolve", "hg merge", "hg update", "hg
       backout" and in several extensions.
   
       Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by
       combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in the two
       different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some
       interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve conflicting
       merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some conflict markers.
       Mercurial does not include any interactive merge programs but relies on
       external tools for that.
   
       Available merge tools
       =====================
   
       External merge tools and their properties are configured in the merge-
       tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just be
       named by their executable.
   
       A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the
       system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it is an
       absolute or relative executable path or the name of an application in the
       executable search path. The tool is assumed to be able to handle the merge
       if it can handle symlinks if the file is a symlink, if it can handle
       binary files if the file is binary, and if a GUI is available if the tool
       requires a GUI.
   
       There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal merge
       tools are:
   
       ":dump"
         Creates three versions of the files to merge, containing the contents of
         local, other and base. These files can then be used to perform a merge
         manually. If the file to be merged is named "a.txt", these files will
         accordingly be named "a.txt.local", "a.txt.other" and "a.txt.base" and
         they will be placed in the same directory as "a.txt".
   
       ":fail"
         Rather than attempting to merge files that were modified on both
         branches, it marks them as unresolved. The resolve command must be used
         to resolve these conflicts.
   
       ":local"
         Uses the local version of files as the merged version.
   
       ":merge"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
         partially merged file. Markers will have two sections, one for each side
         of merge.
   
       ":merge-local"
         Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the
         local changes.
   
       ":merge-other"
         Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the
         other changes.
   
       ":merge3"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
         partially merged file. Marker will have three sections, one from each
         side of the merge and one for the base content.
   
       ":other"
         Uses the other version of files as the merged version.
   
       ":prompt"
         Asks the user which of the local or the other version to keep as the
         merged version.
   
       ":tagmerge"
         Uses the internal tag merge algorithm (experimental).
   
       ":union"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will use both left and right sides for conflict regions. No
         markers are inserted.
   
       Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by
       default not handle symlinks or binary files.
   
       Choosing a merge tool
       =====================
   
       Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
   
       1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or
          resolve, it is used.  If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools
          configuration, its configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool
          must be executable by the shell.
       2. If the "HGMERGE" environment variable is present, its value is used and
          must be executable by the shell.
       3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in
          the merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool
          corresponding to a matching pattern is used. Here, binary capabilities
          of the merge tool are not considered.
       4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the
          name of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be
          executable by the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is
          usable.
       5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration
          section, the one with the highest priority is used.
       6. If a program named "hgmerge" can be found on the system, it is used -
          but it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
       7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then
          internal ":merge" is used.
       8. The merge of the file fails and must be resolved before commit.
   
       Note:
          After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt to
          merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it
          doesn't succeed because of conflicting changes Mercurial will actually
          execute the merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm
          first can be controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool.
          Premerge is enabled by default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
   
       See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the
       configuration of merge tools.

   The files will be added to the repository at the next commit. To
   undo an add before that, see &quot;hg forget&quot;.
   </p>
   <p>
   If no names are given, add all files to the repository.
   </p>
   <p>
   Examples:
   </p>
   <ul>
    <li> New (unknown) files are added   automatically by &quot;hg add&quot;:
   <pre>
   \$ ls (re)
   foo.c
   \$ hg status (re)
   ? foo.c
   \$ hg add (re)
   adding foo.c
   \$ hg status (re)
   A foo.c
   </pre>
    <li> Specific files to be added can be specified:
   <pre>
   \$ ls (re)
   bar.c  foo.c
   \$ hg status (re)
   ? bar.c
   ? foo.c
   \$ hg add bar.c (re)
   \$ hg status (re)
   A bar.c
   ? foo.c
   </pre>
   </ul>
   <p>
   Returns 0 if all files are successfully added.

   The following table details the behavior of remove for different
   file states (columns) and option combinations (rows). The file
   states are Added [A], Clean [C], Modified [M] and Missing [!]
   (as reported by &quot;hg status&quot;). The actions are Warn, Remove
   (from branch) and Delete (from disk):

   <h1>Specifying Single Revisions</h1>
   <p>
   Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
   </p>
   <p>
   A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
   treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
   -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
   </p>
   <p>
   A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
   identifier.
   </p>
   <p>
   A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
   unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
   identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
   of exactly one full-length identifier.
   </p>
   <p>
   Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
   bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
   associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
   of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
   branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the &quot;:&quot; character.
   </p>
   <p>
   The reserved name &quot;tip&quot; always identifies the most recent revision.
   </p>
   <p>
   The reserved name &quot;null&quot; indicates the null revision. This is the
   revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
   </p>
   <p>
   The reserved name &quot;.&quot; indicates the working directory parent. If no
   working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
   uncommitted merge is in progress, &quot;.&quot; is the revision of the first
   parent.
