doc: show details of command options in pages generated by docutils Before this patch, HTML/man pages generated by docutils don't show details of each command options, whether it should take argument or not for example, even though "hg help" does. This patch shows details of command options as same as "hg help" shows. This patch uses "--option <VALUE[+]>" style instead of "--option <VALUE> [+]" used in output of "hg help", because docutils requires that option argument strings starts with "<" and ends with ">".

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 revision
of that 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.
