[PATCH] vcs_info docs: applied-string/unapplied-string: Correct an omission in the documentation and add an example.



The example code is a reduced version of my function from workers/47519,
with one bug fixed.  (In workers/47519, if $1 doesn't contain spaces -
which is the case under hg mq - then $H and $s will be set to the same
value.)
