config: give more fine-tuned sample hgrcs to this command

The hgrc for user config is typically different from the hgrc at the
system-wide or repository level. This patch provides different sample
hgrcs for each level. Sometimes when copying repos around, the copy or
the original don't have a default path yet, so at least for `hg config
-l`, this ought to provide a more reasonable default and suggestions
of what typically goes there.

The actual sample configs go in the config.py file, to minimise
clutter. In order to avoid an unnecessary import, the corresponding
import for this dictionary is at the file level.
