doc: correct example concerning "hg purge" alias in man page "hgrc.5" The "hg purge" alias as currently described in "hgrc.5" issues a possibly confusing error message like rm: missing operand Try 'rm --help' for more information. if no files are to be purged at all.

+   purge = !$HG status --no-status --unknown -0 re: | xargs -0 rm -f
 
 which will make ``hg purge`` delete all unknown files in the
 repository in the same manner as the purge extension.
