pathcomplete: remove ambiguous entries for sole completion on a directory

Previously, directories were added with the trailing slash and, if there was
only one completion, then another ambiguous entry was created using '.', as
follows:

$ hg rm mer<TAB>
mercurial/./  mercurial//

This was added in fa6d5c62f3bd (though, some logic existed before that) to work
around bash completion adding a space after the sole entry because we treated
directories and files the same. We no longer do that now so we remove this
unneeded code.

Tests have been updated to match this new behavior.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
