minirst: convert ``foo`` into "foo" upon display

This lets us markup many more occurances of inline literals since they
no longer look strange in the terminal output.

 """simplified reStructuredText parser.
 
 This parser knows just enough about reStructuredText to parse the
 Mercurial docstrings.
 
 It cheats in a major way: nested blocks are not really nested. They
 are just indented blocks that look like they are nested. This relies
 on the user to keep the right indentation for the blocks.
 
 It only supports a small subset of reStructuredText:
 
 - paragraphs
 
 - definition lists (must use '  ' to indent definitions)
 
 - lists (items must start with '-')
 
 - field lists (colons cannot be escaped)
 
 - literal blocks
 
 - option lists (supports only long options without arguments)
 
 - inline markup is not recognized at all.
