[issue2242] `hg init` options - --ignore=..., --user, --interactive

[techtonik]

New submission from techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

When working on a quick patch for some project it would be nice if 'hg init' 
can automate some repetitive tasks, such as:
1. create .hgignore file with `all included` mask
> hg init --ignore
# just create .hgignore file
> hg init --ignore=all
# create ignore file with everything ignored
2. creating .hgrc with username for this repository
> hg init --user="user name <em at il>"

As with more options it becomes harder to memorize them, --interactive 
should help to save time for those users who don't want to spend too much 
time reading cmd help.

> hg init --interactive
Create .hgignore [No/Empty/All] (default No): A
Set username in .hgrc (leave empty to skip): User Name <em at il>
Done.
