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

I think "setuptools" should be lower-cased.

daviddavid

We should say "2.4 or higher," explicitly, in case some crazy person is using something even older.

Up until here, you've been capitalizing the "s" in Setuptools. I guess do that here too.

You mention dotfiles earlier - I wonder if this should be the first solution you present instead.

mike_conleymike_conley

Not sure this is the clearest title. Maybe something like: Options for Setting Fields

You've used "username" elsewhere. We'd better be consistent, so maybe go with "username".

mike_conleymike_conley

Maybe (again) mention, "if not supplied, defaults to 'submitted'"

I'd like us to standardize on using review-request-id in all these cases. This applies to each occurrence.

    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.

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

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