help: add a mechanism to change flags' help depending on config

It seems reasonable to have a similar mechanism for the rest of the
help, but no such thing is implemented.

The goal is to make the help of commands clearer in the presence of
significant default changes, like tweakdefaults or with company-wide
hgrcs. In these cases, a user looking at the help of a command doesn't
exactly know what his hgrc is doing.

Apply to this to the --git option of commands that display diffs, as
this option in particular causes confusion for some reason.

Arbitraryfilectx.cmp does not follow symlinks:
  $ mkdir case1
  $ cd case1
  $ hg init
#if symlink
  $ printf "A" > real_A
  $ printf "foo" > A
  $ printf "foo" > B
  $ ln -s A sym_A
  $ hg add .
  adding A
  adding B
  adding real_A
  adding sym_A
  $ hg commit -m "base"

These files are different and should return True (different):
(Note that filecmp.cmp's return semantics are inverted from ours, so we invert
for simplicity):
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx(b'A', repo).cmp(repo[None][b'real_A'])"
  True (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp(b'A', b'real_A')"
  True (no-eol)

These files are identical and should return False (same):
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx(b'A', repo).cmp(repo[None][b'A'])"
  False (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx(b'A', repo).cmp(repo[None][b'B'])"
  False (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp(b'A', b'B')"
  False (no-eol)

This comparison should also return False, since A and sym_A are substantially
the same in the eyes of ``filectx.cmp``, which looks at data only.
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx(b'real_A', repo).cmp(repo[None][b'sym_A'])"
  False (no-eol)

A naive use of filecmp on those two would wrongly return True, since it follows
the symlink to "A", which has different contents.
#if symlink
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp(b'real_A', b'sym_A')"
  True (no-eol)
#else
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp(b'real_A', b'sym_A')"
  False (no-eol)
#endif
