singlehead: making config item a bool again with the use of `configsuboptions`, the main config item has become a string (unless it's just the default value). This makes it in particular hard to override in a cascade of HGRC files, as we do in Heptapod to re-allow multiple heads on specific repositories while the default behaviour is to forbid them. The added test case reflects that use-case

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.
