hgweb: extend [paths] syntax to match repositories recursively (issue852)

This feature somehow duplicates [collections] but it is simpler to use and has
less issues under Windows where using absolute path as configuration file key
is not supported.

+# * First two lines mount one repository into one virtual path, like

+# * The third entry tells every mercurial repository found in

+# format is preferred over the [collections] one, using absolute paths
+# as configuration keys is not supported on every platform (including
+# Windows).

+# * The last entry is a special case mounting all repositories in
+# '/real/root2' in the root of the virtual directory.

 # collections example: say directory tree /foo contains repos /foo/bar,
