dispatch: add shell aliases

This patch adds git-style "shell aliases" to Mercurial.

Any alias with a definition beginning with a '!' will be treated as a shell
alias. For example:

    [alias]
    echo = !echo
    qempty = !hg qrefresh -X "`hg root`" ; echo Emptied patch "`hg qtop`"

    $ hg echo foo
    foo
    $ hg qempty
    Emptied patch foo
    $
