test: fix self._testdir to use the right mercurial library during testing Currently if you run tests from some other directory other than the `../tests/`, you will get a warning stating ``` warning: Testing with unexpected mercurial lib: mercurial (expected /tmp/hgtests.xxxxxx/install/lib/python/mercurial) ``` This is because the current directory being added to the 'PATH', if the `self._testdir != runtestdir`, owing to this line ``` if self._testdir != runtestdir: path = [self._testdir] + path ``` Also say you ran the tests from the hg base directory, because directory is being added in the PATH (see the above snippet, at that stage the `self._testdir` has the value as `cwd`, owing to a faulty initialization). And since the current directory already has the 'hg', that is used in place of the hg that is installed for the testing purposes in `/tmp/hgtests.xxxxxx/...`.

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

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
