[issue2868] aliases should be ignored if the definition == '!'

New submission from Idan Kamara <idankk86 at gmail.com>:

When overriding an existing command, calling the existing command from the 
override causes an endless (process creation) loop.

Although not recommended by the docs, this can be useful, e.g.:

[alias]
qrefresh=!$HG --config alias.qrefresh=! $HG_ARGS && $HG commit --mq -q -Am 
'backup'
