commands: document clone bundles hooks and rollback behavior

The added content is inside a verbose container.

I figure it makes sense to explicitly document behavior, including
with the caveat it may change later. People can't say they weren't
warned!

+      When cloning from servers that support it, Mercurial may fetch
+      pre-generated data from a server-advertised URL. When this is done,
+      hooks operating on incoming changesets and changegroups may fire twice,
+      once for the bundle fetched from the URL and another for any additional
+      data not fetched from this URL. In addition, if an error occurs, the
+      repository may be rolled back to a partial clone. This behavior may
+      change in future releases. See :hg:`help -e clonebundles` for more.

       Examples:
 
       - clone a remote repository to a new directory named hg/::
 
           hg clone http://selenic.com/hg
 
       - create a lightweight local clone::
