Fixed hg help screen for prompt

hg help would report "(no help text available)" for the prompt plugin
because the package comment was located after the future import. This
patch fixes that problem by relocating the future import to after the
package comment.

Installation
============

Installing `hg-prompt` requires [Python][] 2.5+ and (obviously) Mercurial.

[Python]: http://python.org/

First, clone the repository:

    :::console
    $ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/sjl/hg-prompt/

Edit the `[extensions]` section in your `~/.hgrc` file:

    :::cfg
    [extensions]
    prompt = (path to)/prompt.py

Make sure everything is working:

    :::console
    $ hg prompt 'test'
    test

Take a look at the [Quick Start][] guide to learn how to put some useful
information into your shell prompt.
