config: read configs from directories in lexicographical order

Mercurial currently reads the .rc files specified in HGRCPATH (and the
system-default paths) in directory order, which is unspecified. My
team at work maintains a set of .rc files. So far there has been no
overlap between them, so we had not noticed this behavior. However, we
would now like to release some common .rc files and then have another
one per plaform with platform-specific overrides. It would be nice if
we can determine the load order by choosing names carefully. This
patch enables that by loading the .rc files in lexicographical order.

Before this patch, the added test case would consistently say "30" on
my file system (whatever I have -- some Linux FS).

"""Tool read primitive events from a pipe to produce a catapult trace.

Usage:
    Terminal 1: $ catapipe.py /tmp/mypipe /tmp/trace.json
    Terminal 2: $ HGCATAPULTSERVERPIPE=/tmp/mypipe hg root
    <ctrl-c catapipe.py in Terminal 1>
    $ catapult/tracing/bin/trace2html /tmp/trace.json  # produce /tmp/trace.html
    <open trace.html in your browser of choice; the WASD keys are very useful>
    (catapult is located at https://github.com/catapult-project/catapult)

For now the event stream supports

  START $SESSIONID ...

and

  END $SESSIONID ...

events. Everything after the SESSIONID (which must not contain spaces)
is used as a label for the event. Events are timestamped as of when
they arrive in this process and are then used to produce catapult
traces that can be loaded in Chrome's about:tracing utility. It's
important that the event stream *into* this process stay simple,
because we have to emit it from the shell scripts produced by
run-tests.py.

Typically you'll want to place the path to the named pipe in the
HGCATAPULTSERVERPIPE environment variable, which both run-tests and hg
understand. To trace *only* run-tests, use HGTESTCATAPULTSERVERPIPE instead.
