Description

Add documentation for the rbt commands

A page for each command has been added listing a short description and
the options which the command accepts. Eventually these should be
expanded to provide more in depth documentation.

Also, the post-review documentation has been ported from the Review
Board code base. This also served as the starting point for the rbt
post command's documentation.

Additionally, a couple of unused options, which were noticed while
documenting, were removed from the post command.

This is dependent upon /r/3296

Testing Done

Built the documentation using 'make html' and visually inspected.

I think before this section, you should have a very simple section for Git/hg that just talks about using post with -g and -r to post/update code against a master branch.

Ship it!

Looks really good, Steven! Reads very well. Consider this a conditional ship-it - so if the below is addressed, I'm happy. :)

Thanks,

As David suggested, "setuptools" is usually not capitalized, so I'm switching all references to lower case.

Change Summary:

Updated based on reviews from David and Mike.

Also broke the configuration information out of the post commands
documentation and moved it to a separate rbt configuration documentation
page. There were also two command options removed from post which were
not being used.

Description:

		Add documentation for the rbt commands

		A page for each command has been added listing a short description and
		the options which the command accepts. Eventually these should be
		expanded to provide more in depth documentation.

		Also, the post-review documentation has been ported from the Review
		Board code base. This also served as the starting point for the rbt
		post command's documentation.

	+	Additionally, a couple of unused options, which were noticed while
	+	documenting, were removed from the post command.
	+
		This is dependent upon /r/3296
