histedit: allow configuring default behavior

Adds a configuration setting for allowing users to specify the default behavior
of 'hg histedit' without arguments. This saves users from having to manually
figure out the bottom commit or a complicated revset. My current revset of
choice is "only(.) & draft() - ::merge()"

The commits that histedit can work with is usually quite limited, so if this
feature ends up working well, we may want to consider making "only(.) & draft()
- ::merge()" the default behavior for everyone.

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
