hooks: allow Unix style environment variables on external Windows hooks This will help making common hooks between Windows and non-Windows platforms. Having to build the shellenviron dict here and in procutil.system() is a bit unfortunate, but the only other option is to fix up the command inside procutil.system(). It seems more important that the note about the hook being run reflects what is actually run. The patch from last summer added the hooks on the command line, but it looks like HG_ARGS has since learned about --config args, and the output was just confusing. Therefore, it's now loaded from a file in the histedit test for clarity.

Some Mercurial commands can 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 in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the
environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default
or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will
be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows.
.. container:: windows
On Windows, `more` is not color aware, so using it effectively disables color.
MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager, which can be configured to
support ANSI color codes. See :hg:`help config.color.pagermode` to configure
the color mode when invoking a pager.
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::
[ui]
paginate = never
which will prevent the pager from running.
