shelve: move possible shelve file extensions to a single place

This and a couple of following patches are a preparation to
implementing obsolescense-enabled shelve which was discussed
on a Sprint. If this refactoring is not done, shelve is going
to look even more hackish than now.

This particular commit introduces a slight behavior change. Previously,
if only .hg/shelve/name.patch file exists, but .hg/name.hg does not,
'hg shelve -d name' would fail saying "shelve not found". Now deletion
will only fail if .patch file does not exist (since .patch is used
as an indicator of an existing shelve). Other shelve files being absent
are skipped silently to accommodate for future introduction of obs-based
shelve, which will mean that for some shelves .hg and .patch files exist,
while for others .hg and .oshelve.

for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
