minirst: support containers

Text can be grouped into generic containers in reStructuredText:

  .. container:: foo

     This is text inside a "foo" container.

     .. container:: bar

        This is nested inside two containers.

The minirst parser now recognizes these containers. The containers are
either pruned completely from the output (included all nested blocks)
or they are simply un-indented. So if 'foo' and 'bar' containers are
kept, the above example will result in:

     This is text inside a "foo" container.

     This is nested inside two containers.

If only 'foo' containers are kept, we get:

     This is text inside a "foo" container.

No output is made if only 'bar' containers are kept.

This feature will come in handy for implementing different levels of
help output (e.g., verbose and debug level help texts).

 """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:
 
 - sections
 
 - paragraphs
 
 - literal blocks
 
 - definition lists
 
 - bullet lists (items must start with '-')
 
 - enumerated lists (no autonumbering)
 
 - field lists (colons cannot be escaped)
 
 - option lists (supports only long options without arguments)
 
 - inline literals (no other inline markup is not recognized)

 options formatted to fit within 60 characters:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 There is support for simple option lists, but only with long
 options:
 
 --all      Output all.
 --both     Output both (this description is quite long).
 --long     Output all day long.
 --par      This option has two paragraphs in its
            description. This is the first.
 
            This is the second.  Blank lines may be omitted
            between options (as above) or left in (as here).
 
 The next paragraph looks like an option list, but lacks the
 two-space marker after the option. It is treated as a normal
 paragraph:
 
 --foo bar baz
