rcutil: add a method to convert environment variables to config items...
rcutil: add a method to convert environment variables to config items Handling config and environ priorities has been messy. Partially because we don't have config layers - you either get all configs (sys + user), or none. Ideally, environ like $EDITOR, $PAGER should be able to override the system configs "ui.editor", "pager.pager". This patch provides the ability to convert them into config items, so they can be inserted into the middle config layer between system rc and user rc.

Some Mercurial commands produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will
attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant.
To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::
[pager]
pager = less -FRX
If no pager is set, the pager extensions uses the environment variable
$PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, a default pager
will be used, typically `more`.
You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::
[pager]
ignore = version, help, update
To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.
To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command,
you can use --pager=<value>::
- use as needed: `auto`.
- require the pager: `yes` or `on`.
- suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value
will also work).
To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set::
[pager]
enable = false
which will prevent the pager from running.
