storageutil: move metadata parsing and packing from revlog (API)
Parsing and writing of revision text metadata is likely identical
across storage backends. Let's move the code out of revlog so we
don't need to import the revlog module in order to use it.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
