configitems: do not directly match generic items

Before this changesets, a literal '.*:foo$' config would match a registered
'.*:foo$' generic. This is wrong since generic should be matched through
regular exception only. This changeset fixes this problem.

Thanks for to Yuya Nishihara for spotting the issue.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

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.
