help: Add a keyword feature
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It would be nice to not need to go the documentation website. This aims
to solve that by introducing the concept of keyword to the help
command.

Basically, keywords are things that we want to add help messages to,
but they don't necessarily have an associated subcommand.

For now we only have two keywords:
	- `revsets`: Shows the docs for revsets
	- `tutorial`: Shows the tutorial that is on the documentation

You get the keyword content by tipping `jj help --keyword revsets` or
`jj help -k revsets`.

You can also list the available keywords with `jj help --help`.

It would be nice to have all the documentation on the keywords, maybe
a next commit could do it.

* New command `jj config unset` that unsets config values. For example,
`jj config unset --user user.name`.

* `jj help` now has the flag `--keyword` (shorthand `-k`), which can give help
for some keywords (e.g. `jj help -k revsets`). To see a list of the available
keywords you can do `jj help --help`.

### Fixed bugs

* Error on `trunk()` revset resolution is now handled gracefully.
