clone: provide sample username = config entry in .hg/hgrc (issue4359)

Some users clone from a server before ever running 'hg config --edit',
so they don't see our helpful template for things like enabling the
username. Attempt to give them some helpful guidance.

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.
