configitems: add an official API for extensions to register config item

Extensions can have a 'configtable' mapping and use
'registrar.configitem(table)' to retrieve the registration function.

This behave in the same way as the other way for extensions to register new
items (commands, colors, etc).

# Invoke the system hg installation (rather than the local hg version being
# tested).
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

        syshgenv

# Revert the environment so that running "hg" runs the system hg
# rather than the test hg installation.

# Most test-check-* sourcing this file run "hg files", which is not available
# in ancient versions of hg. So we double check if "syshg files" works and
# fallback to hg bundled in the repo.
