[issue3162] make hgwebdir pick up nested configuration files

[Willem Verstraeten]

New submission from Willem Verstraeten <willem.verstraeten at gmail.com>:

Using hgwebdir, we are currently serving repositories like this :

repositories
|-- mirrors #mirrors of external projects
|   `-- apache
|       |-- ant
|       `-- lucene
`-- internal
    |-- one
    `-- two

For our internal repositories, we use a set of hooks to ensure several 
properties of commits, which we don't need for the external repositories 
that we mirror.

Hgwebdir however only allows one configuration file, so all hooks are common 
to all repositories.

Ideally I'd love hgweb to pick up a hgweb.config file in the mirrors/apache 
directory, and apply the settings in that config file to all repositories 
underneath that directory.

I know I can override hooks and other settings per repository *by editing 
the .hg/hgrc file of that repository), but I'd like a more global approach.
