[PATCH 0 of 2 v3] commands: add editconfig

This series adds "hg editconfig".
I've incorporated feedback on my previous patch submission:
- "hg help showconfig" now mentions editconfig.
- "hg editconfig" now requires a repo unless -u/--user is specified.
- "hg editconfig -R" is now tested.
There are two things I haven't addressed yet but would like to:
1. hgrc(5) still doesn't mention this command. I'm not entirely sure
where I should mention this. Wherever it goes, showconfig should be
mentioned with it.
2. The templates are still hard-coded. I was thinking maybe the two
example configs could be help topics, and simply copied in place
before editing.
On the other hand, I don't know what the topics should be called,
and if they're going to gain full topics, I think the examples
should be much more detailed than they are now.
This series also includes a variation on Mads' ui.editfile()
patch. I've erred on the side of caution and backwards compatibility:
ui.edit() still sets HGUSER, but ui.editfile() allows it to be
optional.
