[MonoDevelop] Mercurial support

[IBBoard]

Good to see a plugin. I wasn't aware of the "Mercurial Command Server", 
so it is probably a good thing I didn't try to write the plugin myself :)

I've finally got a build, and with a bit of tweaking it loads and 
doesn't completely bail. A few issues so far, though:

  * The .addin.xml doesn't seem to get copied to the build dir, which 
means you can't just bundle it with "mdtool setup pack 
MonoDevelop.VersionControl.Mercurial.addin.xml -d:" in bin/Debug/
  * The .mpack file doesn't contain the Mercurial.dll, so the context 
menu causes an error
  * After copying Mercurial.dll to 
local/share/MonoDevelop-2.8/LocalInstall/Addins/MonoDevelop.VersionControl.Mercurial.2.8.0/ 
then I still get "Not under version control" messages. Probably 
something to do with the steps above, or that I'm not running the 
command server.

I'm happy to help test and be a guinea pig, and I'm probably missing 
some obvious bits, but the simpler it is to run once it is published the 
better :)

Thanks.
