cmdutil: prevent "show" from matching "showconfig" (BC)

`hg show` is provided by the "show" extension.

`hg config` has a "showconfig" alias.

In a vanilla installation, if you run `hg show`, `hg showconfig` runs.
This can be a bit confusing. If you e.g. `hg show work` you'll (almost
certainly) get no output and an exit code of 1.

This (hacky) commit changes the alias matching code to exclude
"show" from mapping to "showconfig." It is a minimal change to
make the out-of-the-box behavior of `hg show` more reasonable.
