[issue2959] Improve help for qpop and qpush

New submission from Aaron Digulla <digulla at hepe.com>:

hg help qpop says: "pop the current patch off the stack"

For someone new to MQ, the question is: "What is the stack? And what happens 
with the patch?" Suggestion: "Restore the workspace state as it was before 
the patch was applied and put the patch back into the patches queue."

Same for qpush: "Apply the next patch from the patches queue to the 
workspace."

This clearly communicates what the commands do (apply and unapply patches to 
the workspace), that the patches stay somewhere and that MQ is involved.
