dispatch: add ability to specify a custom pdb module as a debugger

This adds the ability to specify a config option, ui.debugger, to a custom pdb
module, such as ipdb, and have mercurial use that as its debugger. As long as
the value of ui.debugger is a loadable module with the set_trace and
post_mortem functions, then dispatch will be able to use the custom module.

Debugging _parseconfig is still available in the case of an error since it will
be caught with a default the value of pdb.post_mortem.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

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

Running without installing:

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