url: support auth.cookiesfile for adding cookies to HTTP requests Mercurial can't currently send cookies as part of HTTP requests. Some authentication systems use cookies. So, it seems like adding support for sending cookies seems like a useful feature. This patch implements support for reading cookies from a file and automatically sending them as part of the request. We rely on the "cookiejar" Python module to do the heavy lifting of parsing cookies files. We currently only support the Mozilla (really Netscape-era) cookie format. There is another format supported by cookielib and we may want to consider using that, especially since the Netscape cookie parser can't parse ports. It wasn't immediately obvious to me what the format of the other parser is, so I didn't know how to test it. I /think/ it might be literal "Cookie" header values, but I'm not sure. If it is more robust than the Netscape format, we may want to just support it.

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.
