Document email.charsets in hgrc.5

hgrc.5.ja.txt probably should include an example like:

[email]
charsets = iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15, windows-1252, iso-8859-2,
           windows-1250, iso-2022-jp, iso-2022-jp-ms

     this to "sendmail" or "/usr/sbin/sendmail" is enough to use

+    convenient for recipients. Addresses, headers, and parts not

+    question is sent as is in fake ascii. Defaults to empty list.
 
   Email example:
 
     [email]
     from = Joseph User <joe.user at example.com>
     method = /usr/sbin/sendmail
+    # charsets for western europeans
+    # us-ascii can be omitted, as it is always tried first
+    charsets = iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15, windows-1252, utf-8
